Discharge Review Board Discussion and Decision: 

DISCUSSION: The applicant was separated due to a pattern of misconduct. 
The applicant received non-judicial punishment two times over a 19-month period. The applicant was 
found guilty of failing to obey a direct order and regulation through the misuse of their government 
travel charge card and knowingly made a false statement pertaining to the charge. The applicant was 
again found guilty when they conspired with another to obtain and sell government property. In 
addition to the non-judicial punishments, the applicant received an alcohol incident. 
The Board finds no issues with propriety or equity in this case. 
The applicant’s service record displays they were notified of the intent to discharge, the applicant 
waived their right to submit a statement and did not object to the discharge. 

RECOMMENDATION: The Board members thoroughly reviewed the applicant’s record of service and all 
available documentation. The Board deemed that the applicant’s character of service, reason for 
separation and reenlistment code are appropriate and should not be changed. The applicant has not 
substantiated any error or inequity. 

2 In reviewing discharges, the Board presumes regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs unless there is 
substantial credible evidence (to include evidence submitted by the Applicant) to rebut the presumption.
