AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2004-00097 

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

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,  change  of  reason  and  authority  for  discharge,  and  change  of 
reenlistment code are denied. 

ISSUE:  Applicant contends discharge was inequitable because  it was too harsh.  The records indicated  the 
applicant  received  a  Letter  of  Reprimand  for  falsifying  enlistment  documents  and  was  subsequently 
discharged.  Applicant  states that  she would  like  to  reenter  the  Air  Force  and  that  there  are  controversial 
things or untruths on her DD Form 2 14.  The records indicate the applicant was psychiatrically hospitalized 
for 2 - 3 weeks for cutting her wrist  and was readmitted  a few weeks later  for detoxification following an 
overdose of her medicine and alcohol.  This was not disclosed when she enlisted in the Air Force but came 
out when she self referred to the Life Skills Center for depression.  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 fbll 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.

(Change Discharge to Honorable, and Change the RE Code, Reason and Authority 

for Discharge) 

Issue 1:  In 2001 of June I was discharged for not disclosing to MEPS of 

previous depression that I was treated for.  I would like to have the 
opportunity to be able to reenlist into the USAF to serve my country as best I 
can.  I am willing to undergo any test.  The code on my DD 214 will not allow me 
to enter.  I would like for my paperwork to be fixed due to controversial things 

of untruths on my 214.  I was supposed to be discharged for Fraudulent Entry for 
non disclosure but it states drug &  alcohol abuse as well.  If you review my 
records no such thing happened while enlisted, nor before enlistment.  Please 
give me a chance.  I am hoping that you will be able to see what a great job I 
can do if given a chance. 

If further documentation is needed I am more than willing to send or drop off. 
I would like the opportunity to give 110%.  My time in was cut short &  all I 
want to do is get all I had back.  I enjoyed the AF &  would like to have that 
again.  Thank you.

1.  I am recommending your discharge from the United  States Air Force for Fraudulent Entry.  The 
authority for this action is AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.15, dated 14 Oct 94.  If my recommendation is 
approved, your service will be characterized as Honorable or General.  I am recommending that your 
service be characterized as General (Under Honorable Conditions). 

2.  My reason for this action is: You did, on or about 23 Jun 00, knowingly make false representations on 
AETC Form  1408, Job Screening Worksheet, AF Form 2030, USAF Drug and Alcohol Abuse 
Certificate, and DD Form 2246, Applicant Medical Prescreening, stating you had never been treated for a 
mental, emotional, psychological,  or personality disorder or condition, and you had never been treated or 
undergone rehabilitation  for drug or alcohol abuse, as evidenced by AETC Form  1408, dated 23 Jun 00, 
AF Form 2030, dated 23 Jun 00, and DD form 2246, dated 21 Jun 00.  For this misconduct you were 
reprimanded, as evidenced by LOR, dated 24 May 0 1. 

All supporting documents are included as attachments to this letter. 

Copies of the documents to be forwarded to the separation authority in support of this recommendation 
are attached.  The commander exercising SPCM jurisdiction or higher authority will decide whether you 
will be discharged or retained in the Air Force and, if you are discharged, how your service will be 
characterized. 

3.  You have the right to consult counsel.  Military legal counsel has been obtained to assist you.  I have 
made an appointment for you to consult Capt-rea 
hours.  You may consult civilian counsel at your own expense.

4.  You have the right to submit statements in your own behalf.  Any statements you want the separation 
authority to consider must reach me by  14 Jun 01,0800 hours, unless you request and receive an 
extension for good cause shown.  I will send them to the separation authority. 

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

6.  You received a medical examination on 4 Jun 01, at the 7th Medical Group Hospital, Physical Exams 
Section. 

7.  Any personal  information you furnish in rebuttal is covered by the Privacy Act of 1974.  A copy of
