AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE
CASE NIlhlBER
F~-2()06-0Q182
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable.
The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRR) 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.
r'
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. Applicant contends discharge was inequitable bccause it was too harsh. The records indicated the
applicant received six Letters of Reprimand and two Records of Individual Counseling for misconduct. 'I'hc
misconduct included failure to follow proper leave procedures, late for duty on numerous occasions, late for
training, missed appointment with customer, leave fraud, and using foul and offensive language in the work
center. The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportuilities to
change her negative behavior. The Board concluded thc n~isconduct 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. Applicant contends that she should not be penalized indefinitely for a mistake she made when
young. The DRB recognized the applicant was 19 years of age when the discharge took place. However,
there is no evidence she was immature or did not know right from wrong. The Board opined the applicant
was the same age as the vast majority of first-term members who properly adhere to the Air Force's
standards of conduct. The DRB concluded that the charactcrization of the applicant's discharge was
appropriate due to the misconduct.
CONCLUSIONS:
'Thc Discharge Revicw 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 furthcr concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for
upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
