AI R FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00268	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of d ischarge to honorable, and to change the reenlistment code.

The appl icant 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:  Upgrade of discharge and change of reenlistment code are denied.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provid ed by the applicant substantiates an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSUE: Applicant contends discharge was inequi table because it was too harsh. The records indicated the applicant received an Arti cle 15 for wrongfully using a scheduled IV controlled substance, specifically, diazepam. The Board concluded  the misconduct was a significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The characterization of the discharge recei ved by the applicant was found to be appropriate.

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 prov ided full administrative due process.

In view of the foregoing findings the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
