AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUl\tBER

FD-2004-00030	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, change the reason and authority for the discharge, and, change the reenlistment code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined to exercise this right.

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

FINDINGS: Upgrade of Discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code are denied.

ISSUE: Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received four Letters of Reprimand and three Letters of Counseling in just seven months of service. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior. 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.

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
