The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesti ng the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identity any.

Issues. Applicant was discharged for a pattern of misconduct prejud icial to good order and discipline. She had four Letters of Reprimand, a Record of Individual Counseling, an Article J 5, a vacation of suspended punishment, and an Unfavorable Information File. Her misconduct included nine instances failure to report to work on time, two instances of wearing an unauthorized tongue ring, dereliction of duty, failed room inspection and dress and appearance violations, and displaying unprofessional behavior. These offenses occurred over a I 0-month period and although member was counseled repeated ly 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 submitted a statement requesting retent ion. The Board lbund applicant's repeated misconduct was a significant departure from the standards expected of all airmen, therefore, no inequity or impropriety was found in her 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 or the
discharge authority and that the applicant was provided foll administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings the board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basi s for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
