AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASF. NUMBER

FD02-0288	

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 to exercise this right.

The attached brief contains the available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge is denied.

The board finds that neither evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety, which would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant contends that her discharge was too harsh because she believes that her supervisors treated her unfairly. The record indicates the applicant received five Letters of Counseling for dereliction of duty, failure to obey regulations, failure to adhere to Air Force standards regarding interaction between Airmen and NCOs, failure to adhere to policy regarding making appointments, and financial irresponsibility. She also received four Letters of Reprimand for Uniform violations, and Financial Irresponsibility (three times). The Board found no evidence of any inequity or impropriety on which to base a decision to upgrade the discharge. The characterization of the applicant's discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.

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.
