AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE |
CASE NUMBER FD-2014-00705 |
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable. 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 denies the upgrade of the discharge. ISSUE: The applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct - Based on Commission of a Serious Offense
The Air Force Discharge Review Board, under its responsibility 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 presumption , 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 one Letter of Reprimand for breaking into several locked tractor-trailors and illegally removing several pieces of equipment with intent to steal and then fleeing the scene once officers arrived.
The applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of his discharge. The applicant does submit that his discharge was based on one isolated incident and he would like to clean up his past. The Board opined that the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. 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 characterization.
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 detem1ines the discharge should remain unchanged. Attachment: Examiner's Brief |
