CASE NUMBER
AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00171
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to honorable, to change the reason and
authority for discharge and to change the reenlistment code.
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, to change the reason and authority for discharge and to change the
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 that she was told that the disciplinary action she received while she was in technical
school would be pulled from her personnel files. She noted that she received an Article 15 for underage
drinking while she was in technical school. The Board noted that the case file did not contain an Article 15
for underage drinking. The applicant was discharged for Misconduct, Minor Disciplinary Infractions, with a
general discharge under honorable conditions. Her misconduct consisted of two Article 15s and two
Records of Individual Counseling for using a government credit card for unofficial purposes, violating a no-
contact order, failing to safeguard government property (military identification card) and failing to prepare
for deployment. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity in
this case on which to base an upgrade of the discharge. The Board opined that through these administrative
actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her behavior. They found the seriousness of the
willful misconduct offset any positive aspects of the applicant's duty performance during her two and half
years in the Air Force. The Board concluded the characterization and the reenlistment code appropriate for
the reasons which were the basis for this case.
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
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.
