AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2006-00201 

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 availablc pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading 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 the record, the Board was unable to identify any that would justify  a change of 
discharge. 

ISSUE: 

The applicant submitted no issues and admits her personal issues took a toll on her which resulted in her 
separation.  The applicant requested that the review be completed based upon 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 an Article  15, three Letters of 
Reprimand, two Letters of Admonishment, and two Records of Individual Counseling for misconduct. 
Applicant received an Article  15 for failure to go to Fitness Center for mandatory physical training and 
making a false official statement.  She was reduced in grade to Airman, restricted to base for 60 days, and a 
reprimand.  She had additional misconduct and was disciplined for assaulting a member of the local 
community, being late for duty, failure to adhere to fitness requirements, failure to maintain quarters, failure 
to obey a lawful order, and driving under the influence of alcohol.  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. 

CONCLUSIONS:  The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with [he 
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.
