AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00328	

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 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 contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, three Letters of Repri mand, one Letter of Counseling, four Records of Individual Counseling and two Memorandums for Record for misconduct. The misconduct included lack of discipline, disrespect for the flag, misuse of a government computer, violation of dress and appearance standards, making a false statement, failure to follow instructions, inattention to detail, misinformi ng a customer, loss of military bearing, leaving a counseling session without permission, leaving the work area without permission, misuse of the telephone, insubordinate and disrespectful conduct to supervisor and co­ workers, and disobeying a lawful order. The DRB opined that through these administrati ve actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior. The Board concluded the applicant's 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.

Jn 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.
