AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIE\V BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUJ\'lBER

FD-2004-00338	

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

The Board finds the applicant submitted nCJ issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant contends that she would like her discharge upgraded so that she may re-enter the military. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, one Letter of Reprimand, three Records of Individual Counseling and four tickets for misconduct which included drinking alcohol while under age, dereliction of duty, disrespect to a superior, missing appointments, and traffic infractions. 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 cCJnsistent 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 BCJard further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis fc
upgrade of discharge, thus tbe applicant's discharge should not be changed.
