AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00053	

GENERAL: The applicant appeals to change the reason and authority for the discharge, and to change the reenlistment code.

The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and requests that the review    completed based on the available service record.

The attached brief contains available perti nent data on the applicant and the factors leading to the discharge.

FINDING: The Board denies the change of reason and authority for discharge and change of reenlistment code.

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:

Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because had inadequate counsel and his discharge was too harsh. He contends his counsel did not advise him on the full impact the discharge would have on his l ife. The records indicated the applicant received an Honorable Discharge for Fraudulent Entry into Military Service (Drug Abuse) in accordance with AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.15. The records indicated the applicant had admitted to an OSI agent that he had used marijuana prior to his enlistment into the USAF. However, upon further review of his enlistment documentation, applicant never disclosed his pre-service drug usage. He freely admitted to more	than what he had disclosed on his DD Form 293. The Board found the negative aspects of the willful misconduct outweighed the positive aspects of the applicant's performance and concluded that the discharge was appropriate.

CONCLUSION: 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 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
