AIR-FORCE-UISCHARGK REVIEW  BOARD  DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00096	

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 scheduled for a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland on 30 Nov 2010, but failed to appear or notify the board, thereby forfeiting her right for further review by the Discharge Review Board.

FINDING:  The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge, change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code.

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 contends her discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh and based on one isolated incident.  The applicant submits that she believes she deserves a second chance despite her discrepancies so that she may serve her country in another branch of service.  The records indicated the applicant received two Article 15s and three Letters of Reprimand for misconduct.  Her misconduct consisted of failure to go (3x), disobeying a lawful order and endangering the safety of her child.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior.  The Board
concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant's service outweighed the positive contributions she made in her Air Force career.  The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

CONCLUSION: 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 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
