AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD02-0257	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of his discharge.

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

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

FINDINGS: The discharge is upgraded to Honorable and the reason for discharge is changed to Personality Disorder.

ISSUE:  The applicant received a General discharge for minor disciplinary infractions.  Applicant contends he was suffering from attention deficit disorder, unknowingly at the time.  The record indicates the  applicant received an Article 15 for disobeying a lawful order to wear a pressed uniform.  He also received two Letters of Reprimand for being late for work and failing to fulfill his responsibility to maintain his dormitory room in a clean and orderly manner.  After a thorough and complete consideration of the information submitted by the applicant, and information contained in the record, the Board concluded there was sufficient mitigation and extenuation to substantiate a change in the Reason for discharge, but did not change applicant's 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.

However, in view of the foregoing findings, the board further concludes that the overall Reason for discharge is more accurately reflected as Personality Disorder. The applicant's discharge should be upgraded to Honorable and the Reason for discharge should be changed to Personality Disorder.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
