AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REV IEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00229	

GENERAL:  The appl icant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorabl e.

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

The attached brief contains availabl e perti nent 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.

ISSUE: Applicant does not contest her discharge. She states that she is interesting in pursuing a job in the Federal Government and by changing her discharge; it will increase her chances of employment and success for the future. The records indicated the applicant recei ved two Article 15s, seven Letters of Reprimand, one Letter of Counseli ng, an U nfavorable Information File and was placed on the Control Roster for financial irresponsibility, missing appointments, dereliction of duty, displaying a negati ve attitude, unprofessional behavior and failure to obey an order. The  DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior. The Board concluded the miscond uct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military mem bers. 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 proced ural and substantive req uirements 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.
