AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2006-00277 

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals Ibr 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 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 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 had a Special Court Martial 
for making a false official statement to a physician and trying to avoid her service as a Security Forces 
member by exaggerating headaches.  She was sentenced to 60 days of hard labor without conlinement, 
forfeiture of pay for three months, reduction in grade to Airman and restriction to Minot AFB for 30 days. 
'The DRB opined that through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change 
her negative behavior.  The Board concluded the applicant's misconduct was a significant departure from 
conduct expected of all military members.  The characterization of the discharge received by the applieai~t 
was found to be appropriate. 

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 
dischargc 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.
