AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00283	

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 d i scharge.

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 requested for the Board to upgrade her discharge to Honorable.  Applicant states that the substance abuse was a short-term problem that was promptly addressed by attending inpatient treatment. Today the applicant lives a clean and sober life.  She is trying to correct her mistakes.  The record indicates the applicant received a General discharge from the ANG for Drug Abuse, but is missing the discharge documentation.  Lacking this evidence or any supporting documentation by the applicant, the Board relies on the presumption of regularity and finds the characterization of the discharge received by the applicant 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 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 applicant's discharge should not be changed.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
