AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00451	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals to change the reason and authority for the discharge and to 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: Change ofreason and authority for discharge and change ofreenlistment code are denied.

The Board finds that neither the evidence of record nor that provided by  the  applicant  substantiates  an inequity or impropriety that would justify a change of reason and authority for discharge or a change of reenlistment code.

ISSUE:  Applicant received an Honorable discharge for Homosexual Activity.

Applicant contends that the reason for her discharge was the result of confusion and inaccuracy and warrants that any remark or representation that she is a homosexual is blatantly not true.  The records indicated the applicant submitted a signed, written memorandum to her First Sergeant in which she stated that she confessed her homosexuality and her plans to marry her girlfriend, and that she also told her First Sergeant that she no longer wished to stay in the closet and planned on marrying her girlfriend.  The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate, and the Board concluded the reason and authority and reenlistment code were appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for this case.

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.

In view of the foregoing findings the Board further concludes that there exists no legal or equitable basis for changing the reason and authority for discharge or reenlistment code.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
