AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2003-00405	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge to and to change the reenlistment code.

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

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

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of Discharge is approved.  Change of reenlistment code is denied.

ISSUE:  Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh.  The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15 and a Court Martial.  However, the Court Martial findings of guilt and the sentence were set aside and dismissed.  The commander elected to discharge the applicant anyway based upon a positive urinalysis. This constitutes an inequity.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was not consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. 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 the reason for the discharge is more accurately described as Secretarial Authority under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
