AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD2002-0344	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable, change of reason for discharge, and change of reenlistment eligibility (RE) code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (ORB) 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 the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety, which would justify a change of discharge.

The applicant's issues are listed in the attached brief.

Issue. The contained in the applicant's records was carefully reviewed by the ORB. The records indicated the applicant received one Article 15, two Letters of Reprimand, two Records of Individual Counseling and one Letter of Admonishment for misconduct. The misconduct  included unprofessional conduct, failure to go, late for work, financial irresponsibility, and wrongfully using marijuana. The ORB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior.  In addition, drug abuse is not conducive to service in the United States Air Force. The Board concluded the misconduct outweighed the otherwise satisfactory performance of this member.

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