AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD02-0292	

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 does not contest her discharge. She indicates that she had an alcohol problem and is now attending alcoholics anonymous and would like her discharge upgraded in order to get on with her life. The record indicates the applicant received an Article 15 for consuming alcoholic beverages while under the legal drinking age and by wrongfully allowing members of the opposite sex to enter her dormitory living quarters. In addition, the applicant received two Letters of Reprimand. One for smoking in uniform, not in possession of an AETC Form 341, and intentionally using the wrong name. The other was for underage drinking and allowing a male in the female hallway. The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The Board found no evidence of any inequity or impropriety on which to base a decision to upgrade the discharge.

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.
