AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2006-00388 

GENERAL:  The  applicant  appeals  for  upgrade  of  discharge  to  honorable,  to  change  the  reason  and 
authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code. 

The applicant was offered a personal  appcarancc 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,  change  of  reason  and  authority  for  discharge,  and  change  of 
reenlistment code are 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 applicant expressed a desire to upgrade her discharge to qualify for enlistment into the armed 
forces.  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 Article  15s, a 
Record of Individual Counseling, a Memorandum  for Record and three AETC Form 34 1 s for misconduct. 
The applicant received her first Article  15 for stealing four video games and five greeting cards from the 
Army and Air Force Exchange Service.  She was punishcd with a forfeiture of pay, 7 days of extra duty, and 
restriction to base for 7 days.  Her second Article  15 was for stealing a neck wallet and its contents from 
another airman and throwing the military  identification card into a dumpster.  She was reduced in grade to 
Airman.  She was administratively disciplined for being late for PT, failure to complete code maintenance 
training for the second time, missing from duty, and having an unclean room.  The DRB opined that through 
these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change his 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 applicant 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  discrction  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.
