AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2005-00487	

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

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:  Upgrade of discharge is 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 discharge.

ISSUE:

The applicant did not receive an administrative discharge, thus her contention of inequity is not applicable. The applicant received a Bad Conduct Discharge, a punitive discharge, as part of her sentence resulting from a Special Court Martial conviction.  She was found guilty of two offenses.  The first was for wrongful use of marijuana on divers occasions and the second offense was for attempt to wrongfully possess Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD).  She received Bad Conduct Discharge, reduction to airman and two months confinement.  Under the provisions of Section 1553, 10 USC, the only basis for change of a Bad Conduct discharge is clemency.  The applicant presented evidence which the DRB opined did not warrant granting clemency.

CONCLUSIONS:   The Discharge Review Board concluded that the applicant's punitive discharge by Special Court-Martial is appropriate under the facts and circumstances of this case and there is insufficient basis, as an act of clemency, for change of discharge.
