AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOA RD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2006-00381	

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 the applicant submitted no issues contesting the equity or propriety of the discharge, and after a thorough review of the record, the Board was u nable to identify any that would justify a change of discharge.

ISSU E: The applicant submitted no issues. The record indicates that the applicant was discharged with a General discharge for Misconduct--Drug Abuse. The appl icant received an Article 15 for wrongfully using marijuana. She was punished with a reduction in grade to Airman Basic, forfeiture of $636.00 for two months--suspended, and 30 days extra duty. The Board concluded the misconduct was  a  significant departure from conduct expected of all military members. The characterization of the discharge received by the applicant was found 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
