AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUM BER

FD-2004-00167	

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 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 that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUES: Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because  of medical  reasons tied to mental stress. AFI 36-3208 states that discharge for applicants with mental disorders is not appropriate, if their record supports a discharge for misconduct or unsatisfactory performance. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand and two Letters of Counseling for dereliction of duty and disrespect towards others. The DRB opined that through these  administrative  actions, the applicant had ampl e 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.
