GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable.
The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), without counsel, at Andrew _AFB on July 22, 2015. The following witness also testified on the applicant's behalf: (Applicant's Father).
There were no additional exhibits submitted at the hearing.
The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDING: The Board upgrades the discharge to General.
ISSUE: The applicant received an Under Other Than Honorable Conditions discharge for Misconduct
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 contends that his discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. He stated that he was unfairly given an UOTHC discharge with his Chapter 4 in Lieu of Court Martial request. He claims that he was told by his leadership that he would receive a General discharge upon separation. After a thorough review of the records and the testimony from the applicant, the DRB determined there is sufficient evidence to support his claim of inequity. Although the Board does not condone applicant's misconduct, the DRB found sufficient mitigation due to the lack of documented actions from the discharge process and based upon the applicant's overall duty performance, to consider his discharge harsh. As such, the Board majority
grants upgrade of discharge to General.
CONCLUSION: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority and the applicant was provided full administrative due process.
However, in view of the foregoing findings, the Board concludes that the overall quality of applicant's service is more accurately reflected by a General discharge under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553. Attachment: Examiner's Brief |

The applicant appeared and testified before the Discharge Review Board (DRB), with counsel, at Andrews AFB on 08 Mar 2012. The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge. The DRB concluded that the characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.
