AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NlJMBER 

FD-2(,(,6-U0 

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

I  The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined to 
exercise this right. 

The attached brief contains availablc pertinent data on the applicant and the factors lcading to the discharge. 

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge is denied. 

The Board finds the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and 
after a thorough review of [he record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify a change of 
discharge, 

ISSUE: 

The applicant submitted no issues and requested that the review be completed based on the available service 
record.  The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in this case 
on which to base an upgrade of discharge.  The records indicated the applicant received two J,etters of 
Reprimand, a Record of Individual Counseling and five verbal counselings for misconduct.  Applicant was 
administratively disciplined for financial irresponsibility, disobeying a direct order, lying, and making a false 
official statement.  The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample 
opportunities to change her negative behavior.  The Roard concluded the misconduct was a significant 
departure from conduct expected of all military members.  'Ihe characterization of the discharge received by 
the applicant was found to be appropriate. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The Discharge Review Roard 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 lor 
upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
