(Change Discharge to Honorable)

Issue 1: At the time that I enlisted with the USAF, I was given a waiver
for a DUI before I was able to enlist. I had alcohol abuse problems before
entering the military. Once in the USAF, I was assigned alcohol rehabilitation
by the military. During my treatment, stationed in Germany, the events of
09/11/2001 took place. With the stress of this situation, my friends being
deployed, away from my family, the stress was overbearing. At this point, my
only release was to drink alcohol. Unfortunately, this is the obvious reason
for my discharge. Again, unfortunately, the circumstances at the time prevailed

over my life.

I am currently enrolled in an alcohol treatment program. Once I feel that my
problem is cured, I am in hopes of joining the reserves.

Any and all consideration to my request would be greatly appreciated.

SUBJECT: Notification Memorandum

1. Iam recommending your discharge from the United States Air Force for Failure in Alcohol
Abuse Treatment. The authority for this action is AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.32,
Failure in Alcohol Abuse Treatment. If my recommendation is approved, your service will be
characterized honorable or general. I am recommending your service be characterized as general.

2. My reason for this action is:

a. On 27 November 2001, you were discharged from the Alcohol and Drug Awareness
Prevention Treatment (ADAPT) program because of your inability to comply with the
specifications of your contract while receiving treatment. (Atch 1a).

3. Copies of the documents to be forwarded to the separation authority in support of this
recommendation are attached. The commander exercising SCM jurisdiction, or a higher
authority, will decide whether you will be discharged or retained in the United States Air Force,
and if you are discharged, how your service will be characterized. If you are discharged, you will
be ineligible for reenlistment in the United States Air Force, and any special pay, bonus, or
education assistance funds you have received may be subject to recoupment.

4. You have the right to consult counsel. Military legal counsel has been obtained to assist you.

Discharge Booklet.

5. You have the right to submit statements on your behalf. Any statements you want the

separation authority to consider must reach me by (3 duty days) 70 Dec at //32_ hours
unless you request and receive an extension for good cause shown. I will send them to the

separation authority.

6. If you fail to consult counsel or submit statements in your behalf, your failure will constitute a
waiver of your right to do so.

__ examination is required, tell the doctor you need a “separation” physical examination. If you
wear glasses, you must bring them with you. If you wear contacts, you must be able to remove

them.

8. Although not a reason for your discharge, your incidents of misconduct, recorded in a letter of
counseling (LOC), a nonjudicial punishment action, and a vacation of suspended nonjudicial

punishment action are additional considerations and are therefore attached. (Atch 2a-2c).
