CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD02-0538
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 the available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the
discharge.
FINDINGS: Upgrade of discharge is denied.
The board finds that neither evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an inequity
or impropriety, which would justify a change of discharge.
ISSUE: Applicant does not contest her discharge. She simply states that she wants an upgrade in order to
received her GI Bill. The record indicates the applicant received an Article 15 for failure to go. She also
received three Letters of Reprimand for failure to go, dereliction of duty and making a false official
statement, and for financial irresponsibility. In addition, she received four Records of Individual
Counseling for being late for work, and dereliction of duty (three times). The applicant cited her desire to
receive the G.I. Bill benefits as justification for upgrade. The DRB was sympathetic to the impact the loss
of these benefits was having on the applicant, but this is not a matter of inequity or impropriety that would
warrant an upgrade. The Board found no evidence of any inequity or impropriety on which to base a
decision to upgrade 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.
