Administrative Discharges
*Administrative Discharges resulting from misconduct, including drug abuse, almost always result in a loss of some veteran benefits, specifically education benefits like the GI Bill. A discharge characterization that is not Honorable, may also limit future employment opportunities*
A Senior Airman (SrA) was cited by the Colorado State Highway Patrol for: Vehicular Assault, Reckless Driving Caused Serious Bodily Injury; 3rd Degree Assault; Reckless Endangerment; Reckless Driving; and Engaged in Speed Contest. The citation came after the SrA was driving at a high rate of speed on I-25 and crashed into another SrA’s vehicle that was also travelling at a high rate of speed. The accident left a fellow Airman, who was a passenger, in critical condition, and now has serious long-term health issues as a result of the accident. Civilian prosecutors retained jurisdiction, so for this misconduct, the SrA received a Command-Level Letter of Reprimand (LOR), an Unfavorable Information File (UIF) was established, and the SrA was placed on a control roster. The SrA was discharged for Misconduct, Commission of a Serious Offense, Other Serious Offense and Misconduct, Minor Disciplinary Infractions, with an Under Honorable Conditions (General) Service Characterization.
