AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD02-0465	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable.

The applicant was offered a persona] 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 states that she was easily led in the wrong direction, had never been away from home, and led a very sheltered life. The record indicates the applicant received two Article 1Ss for failure to go and for larceny. In addition, she received four Letters of Reprimand for financial irresponsibility, being late for duty, and receiving a traffic ticket for failure to provide proof of vehicle insurance. She also received  five Records of Individual  Counseling for financial  irresponsibility and being late for duty on numerous occasions. The Board concluded the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. 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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
