AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00467	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change the reason and authority for the discharge, and to change the 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 appl icant 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:

Issue 1. The applicant submitted no issues of inequity or impropriety.  She admitted that she made mistakes in the past.  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 applicant had received two Article
15s, a Letter of Counseling, three Records oflndividual Counseling, and three Memorandums for Record for misconduct.  The first Article 15 was for falsely pretending to be the owner of an AT&T card and
wrongfully obtaining AT&T services by charging calls in excess of $1078.66.  She was punished with a suspended reduction to Airman Basic and fourteen days of extra duty.  The second Article 15 was for falsely pretending to Seymour Johnson AFB telephone operators that she was making official calls to Japan which was false.  She received a suspended reduction to Airman, forfeiture of pay, 45 days of extra duty, and a reprimand.  The applicant had additional misconduct and was disciplined for failure to follow d irections and attention to detail, CDC End of Course Failure, unprofessional behavior, making a racial statement, missed medical appointment, AAFES returned check notice, dishonored check, and being late for work.  The DRB opined that through these administrative 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.

Issue 2.  Applicant states that her discharge did not take into account the good things she did while in the service. The DRB took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by her performance reports. They found the seriousness of the willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance.  The Board concluded the discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.

CONCLUSIONS:   The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive req uirements 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 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.
