C.35E NUMBER 

t 
FD-2005-00206 

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable. 

'I'he  applicant was offered a personal  appearance beforc the Discllarge Review Hoard (DKH) but  declined to 
exercise this right. 

The attachcd brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. 

FINDINGS:  'I'he Board grants the requested relief. 

The  Board  finds  that  neither  the  cvidence  of  record  nor  that  provided  by  applicant  substantiates  an 
impropriety  that  would  justiljr  a  change  of  discharge.  However,  based  upon  the  record  and  evidence 
provided  by  applicant,  thc  Board  finds the  applicant'$  discharge  characterization  and  reason  and  autllority 
for discharge incquitable. 

ISSUE:  Applicant contcnds discharge was inequitable bccause it was too harsh.  The records indicated the 
applicnilt receivcd a General Discharge due to Fraudulent Entry into the Air Force.  Applicant states that her 
recruitcr told her to check "no"  to thc question concerning travel card abuse since her misuse was not 
malicious.  'I'he record  indicates a lcttcr from thc recruiter stating this i'act.  Also, [he action officer on this 
Discharge Review contacted the recruiter and he confirmed what was in the record and what he informed the 
applicant.  The DRB opined that through no fault of the applicant, the General discharge and fraudulent 
enlistment is inequitable. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The  Discharge  Review  Board  concludes  that  the  discharge  was  consistent  with  the 
procedural  and  substantive  requirerncnts  of  the  discharge  regulation  and  was  within  the  discretion  of  the 
discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process. 

However,  in  vicw  of  the  foregoing  findings,  the  Board  further  concludes  that  the  overall  quality  of 
applicant's  scrvice is Inore accurately  reflected  by  an Honorable discharge and the reason  and  authority for 
the  discharge  is more  accurately described  as Sccrctarial  Authority  under  the provisions  of Title  10, lJSC 
1553.

On August 03, 2003 1 was interviewed b

p

t

Dover, AFB. 

 

On AF form 
1288 there was a question concerning the government travel card. He stated to 
me, "If I  had 
misused or had been seriously delinquent with my travel card within the last 60 
days." I 
replied YES I was once delinquent due to TDY travel voucher late processing. I 
payed my 
delinquency from my income to stop actions against me from being seriously 
delinquent 
on my card in early 2001. 1 was later reimbursed when the travel vol~cher was 
processed 

my travel card. In consistency with the question I did t e l m  

delinquent in 2001, but upon signing my application I had not 

misl-lsed or 
was not delinquent. He told me to answer NO to the question with the same 
intention that 
I had of no malicious or misuse. Sincerely I did not purposefully commit AFI 36- 
3209, 
Fraudulent Entry on my appl
