AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00396	

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

The Board finds the applicant submitted no 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:

Issue.  The applicant cited her desire to serve once again in the armed forces.  The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, a Vacation, four Letters of Reprimand, a Letter of Admonishment and two Records of Individual Counseling for misconduct.  The applicant was discipl ined with four Letters of Reprimand for failure to make required progress in the Weight Management Program, failure to obey a  lawful order, larceny and wrongful appropriation, and being late for work.  The Letter of Admonishment was for being disrespectful to a superior commissioned officer.  The applicant had further misconduct and received an Article 15 and Vacation for failure to go to appointed place of duty on three separate occasions and failure to wear Chef Whites while perfom1ing duties at the dining facility.  Her misconduct resulted in reduction to airman and fifteen days of extra duty.  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 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.
