CASE NUMBER

AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE FD-2009-00396

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.

ISSUES:

Issue 1. Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. The records indicated the
applicant received an Article 15, two Letters of Reprimand, two Records of Individual Counseling and four |
Memorandums for Record for misconduct. The misconduct included underage drinking, unauthorized male.
personnel in the dormitory overnight, extramarital affairs, two false statements to a Senior Non-
Commissioned Officer, and having marijuana fragments in her car. 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 madé
in her Air Force career. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be
appropriate.

Issue 2. After review of the record, the Board found no evidence to indicate that the applicant did not know
right from wrong or that in his three years of service was unaware of the Air Force policy of zero tolerance
to drug use. The Board found the negative aspects of the willful misconduct outweighed the positive aspects
of the applicant’s performance and concluded that the discharge was appropriate.

Issue 3. Applicant contends she was targeted and that her First Sergeant was determined to get rid of her,
There was no evidence in the record or provided by applicant to substantiate this assertion. Therefore nd
impropriety or inequity was found during the records review.

Issue 4. Applicant infers that she should not be penalized indefinitely for mistakes she made when young,
The DRB recognized the applicant was 21 years of age when the discharge took place. However, there is na
evidence she was immature. The Board opined the applicant was older than the vast majority of first-terny
members who properly adhere to the Air Force’s standards of conduct. The DRB concluded that the

characterization of the applicant’s discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct.

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. ;
