AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

l<"D2002-0376	

GEN ERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board but  declined  to exercise this right.

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied.
The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any.

Issues. Applicant was discharged for a pattern of misconduct. She had two Records of Individual Counseling, a Letter of Counseling, a Letter of Reprimand, and two Articles 15. There were also three Memos for Record documenting misconduct. Of three Enlisted Performance  Reports, one was rated an overall "2" and another was a referral "l." Member's misconduct included three instances of failure to go, causing a fire hazard in the dorm, wearing the wrong uniform to work, unauthorized use of another airman's personal telephone and failing to pay the resulting bill, leaving her duty section for an excessive period of time and failing to respond to a page, and sleeping on duty. These offenses occurred over a 24-month period and although member was counseled repeatedly and given numerous opportunities to improve and change her negative behavior, she was unable or unwilling to do so. At the time of the discharge, applicant waived her right to submit statements in her own behalf. The Board found applicant's repeated misconduct was a sib1Ilificant departure from the standards expected of all airmen, therefore, no inequity or impropriety was found in his discharge in the course of the records review.

CONCLUSIONS: 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 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, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
