AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUM6fR

FD-2006-00374	

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 appl icant substantiates  an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant contends her discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15, three Letters of Reprimand, five Letters of Counseling, and one Letter of Admonishment for misconduct. The misconduct i ncl uded failure to go, wearing civilian clothes during duty hours, failure to follow a direct order, dereliction of duty, conduct unbecoming, malingering, failure to complete assigned tasks, insubordinate conduct towards a noncommissioned officer, absence without leave, speeding, failure to attend physical training, and drinking alcohol while on twenty-four hour  telephone standby.   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 find ings the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitabl e basis for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
