AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00199	

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 of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code are denied.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provi ded by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

The applicant contends she is a single parent and has expressed her desire for upgrad e of her discharge to allow for reenlistment into the armed forces.   She admits to making mistake in her career due to an unhealthy relationship.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case on which to base an upgrade of discharge.  The records ind icated the applicant received two Article 1S' s, two Letters of Reprimand, and a Record oflndividual Counseling for misconduct.   The applicant received her first Article 15 for committing an indecent sexual act i n a public place.  She was punished with a suspended reduction in grade to Airman Basic, restriction to the limits of Dover AFB for 30 days, 30 days extra duty, and a reprimand.  She received her second Article 1S for disobeying a no-contact order and theft of money from the Dental Squadron Airman's f orum.  She was reduced in grade to Airman Basic, restricted to Dover AFB for 30 days and 20 days of extra duty.  The appl icant had further misconduct and was disciplined for dereliction of duty and maki ng a fal se official statement.  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 cond uct expected of all military members.  The characterization of the discharge received by the appl icant 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 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.
