AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00757
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

ISSUE: Applicant received a general discharge due to misconduct - minor disciplinary actions

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of her discharge. The record indicates the applicant received an Article 15, two Letters of Reprimand, and two Letters of Counseling. Her misconduct included failed to obey order from NCO and jumped chain of command, violated no contact order, failed to obey two lawful orders to use chain of command and failed to log all appointments and leave in NCOIC calendar, failed to attended mandatory appointment, failed to complete prerequisite CBTs, and unlawfully grabbed the hair of SrA AL with her hands. 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. The Board reviewed the entire record and found no evidence of impropriety or inequity to warrant an upgrade of the discharge.

The applicant cited her desire to receive the G.I. Bill benefits as justification for upgrade. The DRB noted that when the applicant applied for these benefits, she signed a statement (DD Form 2366, on March 29, 2012) that she understood that she must receive an Honorable discharge to receive future educational entitlements. The Board was sympathetic to the impact the loss of these benefits was having on the applicant, but this is not a matter of inequity or impropriety which would warrant an upgrade.

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.
