AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD2002-0084	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals to change the reason and authority for the discharge and to change his reenlistment code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board but  declined  to exercise this right.

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

FINDINGS:   Change of reason and authority for discharge, and change of reenlistment code, are denied.

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 received an Honorable discharge based on a personality disorder that interfered with military service but did not medically disqualify him. Applicant contends the discharge was too harsh, and implies that the record does not support  the i::eason for discharge in view of his otherwise 9 years of satisfactory service. Applicant states he was having marital problems, and used poor judgment counseling a female airman who was also having relationship problems; this "got too personal  and  out  of  hand." Records review disclosed member was diagnosed with paraphilia not otherwise specified, and a personality disorder with antisocial and compulsive features after a thorough evaluation that included interviews of member, his chain of command, affected females, and psychological testing. The clinicians stated that member's behaviors "clearly exceeded societal limitations", and that member was in need of aggressive treatment for psychosexual dysfunction", with a "guarded" prognosis for his recognition  of the severity of his problem as well as continued long term military functioning. At the time of discharge, member unconditionally waived his right to have his case heard by an administrative discharge board and to submit matters in his own behalf   Through the records review the Board confirmed member's ability to function in a military environment was impaired, and could not find an impropriety or an inequity upon which to base a change in reason or authority for the discharge, or his reenlistment code.

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 to change the reason or authority for the discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
