AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2014-00047	

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:    Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct -Failure to Meet Financial Obligations

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was based on an isolated incident. The records indicated the applicant was counseled when her government travel card account was 30 days delinquent, and she was ordered to pay the balance before it become 60 days overdue.  She failed to comply with that order, and she received a Letter of Reprimand for being 90 days delinquent.  The account was delinquent in excess of 180 days.  The DRB opined that the applicant was given ample opportunities to meet her financial obligations.  The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant's service outweighed the  positive contributions she made in his Air Force career.  The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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.

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.
