12 Aug 04 

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

FINDINGS:  Upgrade of discharge to I.Tonorable is denied. 

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:  The  applicant  contends  her  discharge  was  too  harsh  due  to  mitigating  circumstances  including 
family problems and personal  losses, depression and alcohol abuse.  She asserts she was unfairly singled out 
and  harshly  punished  by  her  supervisor  and  in  turn,  her  chain  of  command.  She  asserts  her  chain  of 
command mishandled her case.  The records indicate that the applicant received 2 Letters of Admonishment, 
5 Letters of Reprimand, 2 Articles  15, and a Vacation Action for repeated failure to go, failure to obey, and 
dereliction of duty. 

Issue  1 : The applicant contends her discharge was too harsh due to mitigating circumstances including 
family problems and personal  losses, depression and alcohol abuse.  Evidence of the record shows a 
diagnosis of recurrent depression while in service and she testified that she had experienced recurrent 
depressed mood since adolescence and had been treated by mental health professionals including with 
medication prior to entering the Air Force.  Although she experienced transient depressed mood at the time 
of her boyfriend's  death in December 2002, she testified that incidents of reporting late for duty occurring 
several months later in 2003 were not related to symptoms of depression or alcohol use.  The applicant also 
testified that incidents of reporting late and duty performance difficulties in the early part of 2004 were not 
related to use of alcohol or feeling depressed, but rather were due to miscommunication, poor management 
by her supervisor and being singled out for the same behavior and conduct that was tolerated in her co- 
workers.  She testified that alcohol use became a problem approximately two weeks before she sought help 
in the mental health clinic following receipt of a Letter of Admonishment for poor duty performance of three 
months duration.  The applicant denied using alcohol following completion of alcohol rehabilitation and 
attributes subsequent incidents of failure to go to medication side effects.  In her written responses to 
disciplinary action by her supervisors and commander, the applicant asserted side effects from medications 
that were initiated only a few days before the incidents; however, service medical records show treatment 

with these medications for over two months without complaint of side effects prior to the incidents. 

Issue 2:  The applicant asserts she was unfairly singled out by her supervisor for punishment and in turn, by 
her chain of command.  She states she was singled out for the same behavior and conduct that was tolerated 
in her co-workers.  Although the applicant now testifies to this issue, she did not raise this as an issue at any 
of the times that she made written responses to disciplinary actions, her referral enlisted performance report 
or in her response to discharge action.  The applicant's testimony did not add any further clarity to the 
evidence of the record. 

Issue 3: The applicant contends her chain of command mishandled her case.  Evidence of the record shows 
that the applicant was provided medical care and sent for intensive alcohol rehabilitation treatment, that her 
commander participated in treatment team meetings with her mental health treatment team and afforded her 
an opportunity for a second chance through correctional custody.  The applicant consulted legal counsel and 
provided her commander with written responses that she testified were prepared with the assistance of legal 
counsel.  The applicant argues now that she should have received a medical discharge instead of an 
administrative discharge.  She asserts that during a one week hospital stay at an A m y  hospital that 
immediately followed her last Article  15 action, her Army psychiatrist stated that medical discharge was 
indicated.  l-lowever, there is no documentation in the medical record including by her Air Force psychiatrist, 
or in the discharge package that raises this as an issue.  Evidence of the record indicates her psychiatrist was 
aware of her administrative difficulties and that her mental health treatment team communicated with her 
commander; however, there is no evidence that a recommendation for medical discharge was made or 
contemplated.  Available service medical records indicate that her depressive symptoms were assessed as 
mild by mental health providers.  Furthermore, this was not an issue that the applicant raised with her 
commander at the time of her discharge. 

Issue 4: The applicant states that she was a good airman and that the positive aspects of her career 
outweighed the bad.  The DRI3 took note of the applicant's duty performance as documented by her 
performance reports and noted excellent duty performance as annotated in her first Enlisted Performance 
Report (EPR) which closed out 29 May 2003.  However, the Board found the misconduct offset any positive 
aspects of the applicant's duty performance as documented in the applicant's  second EPR which closed out 
29 May 2004. 

Issue 5:  Applicant contends that she should not be penalized indefinitely for a mistake she made when 
young.  The DRB recognized the applicant was 23 years of age when the discharge took place.  However, 
there is no evidence she was immature or did not know right from wrong. 

The Board, after reviewing the evidence of the personnel record, medical record and testimony by the 
applicant did not conclude that the preponderance of the evidence showed that depression or alcohol abuse 
caused her misconduct or that she was singled out by her entire chain of command for offenses that were 
allegedly tolerated and went unpunished in her peers.  There was insufficient evidence to show that medical 
evaluation board was indicated as life skills documentation in the medical record reflected mild symptoms 
and made no reference to a requirement for MEB at the time the applicant was undergoing administrative 
discharge.  The applicant consulted legal counsel and this was not an issue the applicant made at the time of 
her discharge.  The Board concluded the discharge was appropriate for the reasons which were the basis for 
this case and that the characterization of the applicant's discharge was appropriate due to the misconduct. 

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

14. CONTINUATION OF ITEM 6, ISSUES  (If app/icable) 
came home on leave on March 3,2004 to find my father had fallen in the bathroom and had severely injured his head. Following 
this, my grandfather was ill and died soon.  My aunt was killed in a head-on collision the next month. My father was again 
hospitalized on Sept 29th. I was only 21 years old when all of this began. My situation caused me to drink more than I should. My 
chain-of-command responded to this by sending me to a residential Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Program.  I was also 
diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, Recurrent. As a result my mother repeatedly expressed her concerns to my commander 
that I might be suicidal. Two weeks following my return I was placed in (jail) Military Correctional Custody for 30 days. Upon my 
return, I was forced to work  12-hour shifts for 30 days. Although I understand that my short periods of tardiness were in violation 
of military law, I believe that my chain-of-command failed to consider my mitigating circumstances. Additionally, I submitted a 
request for early separation under the early out program. But, my chain-of-command decided to separate me for misconduct 
instead. In closing, I respectfully ask the board to grant me favorable consideration of my request for upgrade of my discharge. I 
believe this is the fair thing to do. I believe it is important to say that I come from a successfU1 military family where my father, 
brother, and sister served honorably. I entered the service with the intent of doing the same. 

' 

16. REMARKS  (If applicable) 
The "misconduct" category of my discharge has greatly hindered my ability to move forward with my life. I have not been able to 
attain meaningful employment, receive my educational benefits, and have suffered personal shame with my family and friends. 
Although I am now out of the military, the discharge amounts to continued punishment. Again to a significant degree, these 
circumstances were honestly beyond my control. Therefore, J  urge the board to take all of this into consideration, and to render a 
decision to upgrade my discharge.  Thank you.
