AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBt R

FD2002-00077	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to Honorable.

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: The discharge is upgraded to Honorable. The Reason for discharge is changed to Personality Disorder.

The Board finds that the evidence of record substantiates an impropriety that justifies upgrade of the discharge. Specifically, the Board found the reason for discharge should be Personality Disorder and that his service should be characterized as Honorable.

Issue. After a thorough and complete consideration of the information submitted by the applicant and contained in the records, the Board concluded the evidence best supports an honorable separation for a Personality Disorder. Specifically, the Board found the characterization was not appropriate based on his diagnosis with an Axis II Personality Disorder and Axis I Major Depressive Disorder. The Board opined that the most serious offense, unauthorized entry into another airman's room, resulted from the Personality Disorder. While  the Board did not condone the applicant's misconduct, they did feel it was more appropriate to base his reason for discharge on his diagnosed Personality Disorder and characterize his service as Honorable.

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 quality of applicant's service is more accurately reflected by an Honorable discharge and change of reason for discharge to Personality Disorder, SPD Code, JFX, under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.
