AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2004-00493	

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:  The Board grants the requested relief.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an inequity that would justify a change of discharge. However, based upon the record  and evidence provided by the applicant, the Board finds the applicant's discharge improper.

ISSUE: Applicant contends discharge was improper because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand, and one Letter of Counseling for failure to go. The DRB opined that because the record clearly shows documented sleep problems, they  gave her  the benefit of the doubt as to those problems being the reasons she was late for duty. The Board also directs that her reason for discharge be changed to Secretarial Authority.

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. However, the Board believes the applicant was not provided full administrative due process and should have been sent for a sleep study.

In view of the foregoi ng findings, the Board further concludes that the overall quality of applicant's service is more accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge and the reason for the discharge is more accurately described as Secretarial Authority under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.
