AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2005-00489 

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: 

Issue 1.  Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends her discharge was inequitable because it was too 
harsh.  She also contends that she was discharged for misconduct because she couldn't  find a short term 
designee for dependent care and no action was ever taken against her husband.  The records indicated the 
applicant received an Article  15, a Letter of Reprimand, three Letters of Counseling, and three no-show 
letters for misconduct.  The applicant was administratively disciplined for failure to go on three separate 
occasions, financial irresponsibility, and dereliction of duty resulting in an eviction from her residence for 
non-payment of rent.  The records also indicated she received an Article 15 for failing to inspect life support 
equipment and making a false official statement.  She received a suspended reduction in grade to Airman 
First Class, forfeiture of pay, and 45 days of extra duty.  The DRB opined that through these administrative 
actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior.  The Board concluded the 
misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members.  The characterization 
of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. 

Issue 2.  The DRB was pleased to see that the applicant was doing well and seeking her baccalaureate in 
criminal justice.  However, no inequity or impropriety in her discharge was suggested or found in the course 
of the hearing.  The Board concluded the misconduct of the applicant appropriately characterized her term of 
service. 

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.
