AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW-BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2008-00278	

GENERAL:	The  applicant  appeals  for  upgrade  of  discharge  to  honorable,  to  change  the  reason  for 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 applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge, change reason for discharge and change of the reenlistment 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 submitted no specific issues contending the inequity or impropriety of her discharge, but requests that her discharge be upgraded because she is considering rejoining the military.  The record indicates that the applicant received two Article 15s for being absent without leave, with intent to deceive make a false official statement, willfully/wrongfully damage property belonging to a fellow airman, and stealing a Bank
of America debit card belonging to Arnn	and misappropriated food, gas, and other items with same said card.  After thorough review of the record, the Board found no evidence that would warrant an upgrade of  the discharge, reason for discharge or the reenlistment code.

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
