AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00794

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 for Misconduct - Minor Disciplinary Infractions Although not explicitly stated, the applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.
The records indicated the applicant received one Article 15 and four Letters of Reprimand. Her misconduct included failed to go to duty on time (3x), absent without leave, used government travel card for personal purposes, failed to return to local area at end of leave, with intent to deceive signed official statement indicating no change in leave when had not returned to local area, failed to go to mandatory unit PT, and failed to answer cell phone during squadron recall. 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.

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.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
