AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00405	

GENERAL:	The  applicant  appeals  for  upgrade  of  discharge  to  honorable,  change  the  reason  for  the discharge, and change 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 change ofreenlistment code are 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 did not submit any specific issues but stated that she desires to rejoin the Air National Guard.  The record shows that the applicant was discharged with General discharge for Failure to Meet Financial Obligations, but was missing the discharge documentation.  The applicant did provide some information on her DD Form 293 regarding the reasoning behind her discharge.  She stated that she was discharged for not paying her government travel card.  She stated that it was paid shortly after her discharge but could not provide any record to prove that it was paid off.  Lacking the evidence regarding the discharge, the Board relies on the presumption of regul arity and finds that the characterization, the reason for the discharge and  the reenlistment code received by the applicant 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 appl icant 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.
