AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00459	

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

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 discharge is upgraded to Honorable, the reason for discharge is changed to Secretarial Authority, and the reenlistment code is changed to 3K.

ISSUE:

Member received a general discharge for wrongful use of Percocet that was prescribed to her mother. Applicant infers her discharge was too harsh because she had served 9 Yz years of service with an exemplary record.  While the Board did not condone.applicant's incident of misconduct, after complete consideration of the information submitted by the applicant and her compelling personnel record, the Board concluded there was sufficient mitigation and extenuation to substantiate an upgrade of discharge, to change the reason and authority and reenlistment code.

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 Secretarial Authority with a Reenlistment Code of 3K.  The applicant's characterization and reason for discharge should be changed to Honorable and Secretarial Authority (RE Code: 3K) under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
