AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBKR

FD-2006-00201	

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:  Upgrade of discharge is 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:

The applicant submitted no issues and admits her personal issues took a toll on her which resulted in her separation.  The applicant requested that the review be completed based upon the available service record. 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 indicated the applicant received an Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand, two Letters of Admonishment, and two Records of Individual Counseling for misconduct.
Applicant received an Article 15 for failure to go to Fitness Center for mandatory physical training and making a false official statement.  She was reduced in grade to Airman, restricted to base for 60 days, and a reprimand.	She had additional misconduct and was disciplined for assaulting a member of the local community, being late for duty, failure to adhere to fitness req uirements, failure to maintain quarters, failure to obey a lawful order, and driving under the influence of alcohol.  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.

Inview 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.
