AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2004-00332	

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

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) 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 Board grants partial relief. Upgrade of discharge is approved and will be Honorable. Change of reason and authority for discharge will be changed to Misconduct - Minor Disciplinary Infractions. The reenlistment code will not be changed.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by applicant substantiates an impropriety that would justify a change of discharge. However, based upon the record and evidence provided by applicant, the Board finds the applicant's discharge to be inequitable.

ISSUE: Applicant does not contest her discharge, she merely wants to have it changed to honorable and would like to reentry the Air Force. The records indicated the applicant received an Article 15 for wrongfully having sexual intercourse with a married man. She also received a Letter of Counseling for falsifying an official government document. The DRB did not condone her misconduct but opined that her discharge was too harsh.

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 the reason for the discharge is more accurately described as Misconduct - Minor Disciplinary Infractions under the provisions of Title I 0, USC 1553.
