AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00289	

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

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 are 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:

Issue 1. Applicant states that her discharge did not take into account the good things she did while in the service. Applicant wanted to share her side of the story which led up to her discharge.  The records indicated the applicant received one Article 15, Vacation, two Letter of Reprimands, eight Records of Individual Counseling, and three Memorandums for Record and placement on Control Roster within an eighteen month period.  The misconduct included improper use of government travel card, repeated occasions of being late for work (over five times), unprofessional behavior, personal issues during duty hours, failure to go (four separate occasions), disrespect towards NCO and derelict in the performance of duties.  The DRB noted that prior to discharge, applicant's case was considered as a Dual Action by SAF/MRBP on 16 Sep 03.  After finding no causal or mitigating relationship between the member's medical condition and her misconduct,  the DRB determined execution of the previously approved AFI 36-3208 action was appropriate.  The Board took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by her performance report and other accomplishments.  They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.  The Board concluded the discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.

Issue 2.  The ORB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and has a good job.  However, no inequity or impropriety in her discharge was suggested or found in the course of the hearing.  The Board concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized her term of service.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was withi n 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.
