Affi FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2008-00155	

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:

The applicant contends that her husband at the time was unable to adapt to military life and had continual involvement with the military and civilian police; which led to domestic spousal problems and eventually  her discharge.  The applicant has since then remarried and desires to have her discharge upgraded to have better employment opportunities.  The record indicates that the applicant received a Letter of Counseling for failing to control her dependent; two Letters of Reprimand for failing to obey a no contact order and for involvement in a robbery and assault with attempt to commit robbery; and an Article 15 for failing to obey a not contact order.  After review of the record, the Board found no evidence of inequity or impropriety that would warrant an upgrade of the discharge.

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 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
