AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2008-00545

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
and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.

The attached brief contains available pertinent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by the applicant substantiates an
inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE:

Applicant contends she was young and immature which eventually led to her misconduct. She has expressed
a desire to have her discharge upgraded so that she may be eligible for reenlistment into the armed forces.
The records indicated the applicant received two Article 15s for misconduct. Her misconduct consisted of
failing to adhere to curfew, failure to refrain from drinking off base and failure to go. The DRB opined that
through these administrative actions, the applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior.
The Board concluded that the negative aspects of the applicant’s service outweighed the positive
contributions she made in her Air Force career. The characterization of the discharge received by the
applicant was found to be appropriate.

The Board highly recommends that if the applicant can provide additional documented information to
substantiate their issue(s), that she should consider exercising their right to make a personal appearance
before the Board. If the applicant chooses to exercise this right, **he/she should be prepared to provide the
DRB with factual evidence of the inequity/impropriety and any exemplary post-service accomplishments as
well as any contributions to the community.

CONCLUSION: 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 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
