AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE  N UMBER

FD-2006-00427	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change  the  reason  and authority for the discharge, and to change the reenl istment 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 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 contends her discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh and based on one isolated incident in her career.  The records indicated the applicant received a general, under other than honorable conditions, discharge from the New York Air National Guard for failure to meet financial obligations. The Board found that the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge. 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 proced ural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the  discretion of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrati ve 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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
