AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NlJMBER

FD-2006-00085	

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:  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.

ISSUES:	Applicant  received  a  General   Discharge  for  Personality  Disorder  and  Minor  Disciplinary Infractions.

Applicant contends that his discharge is inval id.  He states he was discharged for inadaptability to military life due to migraines induced by job-related  stress which caused him to miss work.  He contends that his condition has not changed and he still has migraines regularly and his requests for an MRI or CAT scan to check for medical problems were decl ined.  He bel ieves reason for discharge to be inval id.  The records indicate the applicant received two Article I S s, a vacat ion and a Letter of Reprimand for misconduct.
Misconduct included two incidents of AWOL; three incidents of making false official statements on leave forms and to a superior officer; and misusing his government charge card to make cash withdrawals for unauthorized purposes.  Medical records indicate that applicant did suffer with migraines but was controlled with medication.  His inadaptability was determined through a mental health evaluation conducted because  of concerns regarding his fitness for duty and suitability for continued service.  The evaluation concluded  that applicant suffered from Adjustment Disorder with Anxiety and Depressed Mood, Personality Disorder­ Dependent and Avoidant f eatures and Migraines.  There was no evidence to warrant disposition through medical channels.  He was mentally responsible for his behavior and possessed sufficient mental capacity to understand his actions.  The evaluation stated that his disorder was so severe that the member's ability to function effectively in the military environment was significantly impaired.  The Board reviewed the records and found no inequity or impropriety and concluded that the characterization of the discharge received by
the applicant to be appropriate.

CONCLUSIONS: The Discharge Review Board concludes Lhat Lhe discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regu lation 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 upgrade of discharge, thus the appl icant's discharge should not be changed.
