AIR FORCE DISCHARGE  REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL  RATIONALE	CASE NUMBER

FD-2009-00721	

GENERAL:  The applicant appeals to change the reason for the discharge.

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

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

FINDING:	The Board grants the requested relief.

ISSUE:  Applicant received an Honorable discharge-Personality Disorder

Applicant contends the narrative reason for discharge inequitable because the true nature of his disability was Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). After a thorough review of the records and Veterans Association diagnosis of service connected PTSD the board finds the reason for discharge inequitable and grants change to Secretarial Authority.

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.

However, in view of the foregoing findings, the Board concludes that the reason for the discharge is more accurately described as Secretarial Authority under the provisions of Title 10, USC 1553.
