AIR FORCE DISCHARG E REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE |
CASE NUMBER FD-2014-00544 |
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable, to change the reason and authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code. The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record. The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDING: The Board request to upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code are denied. ISSUE: The applicant received a General discharge for Pattern of Misconduct - Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Discipline
The Air Force Discharge Review Board, under its responsibi lity to examine the propriety and equity of an Applicant's discharge, is authorized to change the characterization of service and the reason for discharge if such change is warranted. In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is substantial credible evidence to rebut the presumpt ion, to include evidence submitted by the applicant. The Board completed a thorough review of the circumstances that led to the discharge and the discharge process to ensure the discharge met the pertinent standards of equity and propriety. The applicant's record of service included two Article 15s for misuse of his Government Travel Card (GTC).
The applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does admit to the misconduct but claims that the Air Force never lost any money because he paid his debt. The Board opined that through the administrative actions taken, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his behavior. They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade of the discharge. A discharge is upgraded only if the applicant and the Board can establish that an inequity or impropriety took place at the time of discharge. After a thorough review of the record, the Board found no evidence to justify an upgrade of the discharge characterizat ion, reason for the discharge or the reenlistment code.
CONCLUSION: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation, was within the discretion of the discharge authority, and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.
In view of the foregoing findings, the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge and determines the discharge should remain unchanged. Attachment: Examiner's Brief |
