AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISJONAL RATIONALE 

CASk NUMBER 

FD-2005-00296 

GENERAL:  The  applicant  appeals  for  upgrade  of discharge  to honorable.  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 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. 

ISSUES: 

I.  Applicant contends discharge was inequitablc because it was too harsh.  The records indicated the 
applicant received scven Letters of Reprimand and one Letter of Counseling for misconduct.  The 
misconduct included late for work on numerous occasions, multiple infractions for failure to go, making a 
false statement, failure to follow instructions, and dereliction of duty.  In addition, the applicant had two 
Career Development Course failures.  'The DRB opjncd that through these administrative actions, the 
applicant had ample opportunities to change her negative behavior.  The Board concluded the misconduct 
was a significant departure fro111 conduct expected of all military members.  Thc characterization of the 
discharge received by the applicant was found to be appropriate. 

2.  The applicant stated she was told her discharge would be easily upgraded.  The DRB noted the issue was 
common, the result of miscommunication.  While a discharge may be upgraded after six months, the upgrade 
is by no means automatic.  A discharge is upgraded only if the applicant and the DRB can establish an 
inequity or impropriety took place at the time of dischrrrgc.  In this case, none was found, so the Board 
denied the appeal. 

3.  Applicant stated that she was having flashbacks and nightmares afier she returned from a deployment in 
Iraq.  The Board discussed the applicant's  medical history.  The Board noted that she had not presented any 
of these symptoms to the medical authorities for treatment upon her return from deployment.  The Board 
concluded this was not a sufficient basis to upgrade her discharge. 

4.  The applicant claims that when she was in alcohol rehabilitation she was given the prescription drug 
Trazadon for insomnia.  She contends that this medication would make her drowsy and  lethargic thus 
making her late for work.  The Board discussed that applicant's medical history.  The DRB concluded that 
the applicant was personally responsible for arriving on time for work and appointments.  The Board 
concluded this was not a sufficient basis to upgrade her discharge. 

5.  The applicant stated that she was raped in her dorm room.  An Office of Special Investigations (OSI) 
report dated October 5,2004, stated that the applicant alleged she had been raped sometime in July or 
August 2004.  The Board reviewed the OSI report and the applicant's  medical records.  The Board noted no 
issue or impropriety was found or discovered that would justify  an upgrade to her discharge. 

6.  Applicant stated that after she submitted a Congressional about her case her chain of command retaliated 
by discharging her with a General under honorable conditions discharge.  The Board reviewed and discussed 
the applicanth discharge package and military records.  The DRB could find no evidence that the applicant's 
chain of command acted improperly or without justifiable reason. 

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 
upgrade of dischargc, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.

SAFIM RBR 
550-C $TREET WEST, SUITE 40 
RANDOLPH AFB, TX 781 50-4742 

To Whom  It May Concern 
My name is, -  w On June 10,2003 at the age of 19 1 joined the 
U.S. Air  Force.  My grandfather is a retired Marine, and my father who was an 
Apache Helicopter Pilot, died in service, October 29,  1990, during Desert Storm. 
At  the  time  of  my  enlistment  I believed  serving  my  country  would  be  an 
opportunity for me to honor my father's  memory, and in general, an honorable 
thing to do. 
During Basic Training,  not once  did  I receive any  reprimands from  any  of  my 
T.l.'s.  I finished Basic Military training on time and with much praise from each of 
It was  upon completion of  Basic Training,  I strongly  believed, and 
my T.l.'s. 
concluded, I would build a career for myself in the U.S. Air Force.  I arrived at my 
fmt  duty station, Nellis AFB,  Las Vegas,  Nevada in the beginning of Decerriber 
2003.  Between December 2003 and 3 March 2004,l was progressing very well, 
thriving in  my new environment and excited about the path i had chosen for my 
life.  I  established a good rapport with my Supervisors and others in my chain of 
command.  I was performing well, learning my job and the "ropesn of being Active 
Duty Air  Force.  I was th~iUed to  be in an environment which would allow me to 
grow and flourish. 
I deployed to Baghdad,  Iraq 3  March 2004.  The first month of my deployment 
could be considered "quier  (so  to  speak)  although we  undennrent "Army  Red'' 
many times.  We were under attack countless times, Mortars and Rockets were 
corning down  all  arbund  us,  some  not  more than  50  feet  from  where  I was 
standing.  Early on, I was assigned the Detail of escorting fallen soldiers who had 
been executed the prior day, to the morgue,  Witkt a heavy heart and thoughts of 
sadness for  my fellow soldiers,  their families and loved ones,  I escorted these 
he~oes in their wooden coffins and bid them a silent thank you and farewell. 

' 

While trying to  phone  home many times  I had  to  ditch the phones and  seek 
cover because of an attack. Numerous times I would awaken in the middle of the 
night from  a  nearby blast Or  explosion, feelirrg the shock go through my  body, 
fearing for my life, teMfied  L  may never see my fa~rtiiy again.  E  lived in a fear I 
had never known, and never want to experience again. 

In June,  2004,  1  retl-~rned to  Nellis Air  Force Base, still shaken from the whole 
ordeal of being in a war zone.  I was very  relieved to be home and as soon as 
possible went  to  spend  precious time with  my  family.  After  being  on  leave,  I 
returned to Nellis, assuming my duties and responsibilities. Shortty after, I started 
suffering  nightmares of  being back  in a war  zone,  being  killed, tortured,  or  of 
being kidnapped by Third Country  Nationals, people 1  was  assigned to escort 
while in Iraq.  When I would  hear loud noises of any kind, an alarm, a siren, or 
even  loud  voices  I would  experience  what  I  believe,  are  "flashback"  type 
episodes.  These flashback type episodes are still occurring to this day. 

Since  I  returned  from  Iraq,  to  my  duty  station  at  Nellis  AFB,  two  of  my 
grandmothers passed away, and 1 was Raped in my dorm  room.  I reported the 
incident to my immediate S~~pervisor who explained, I must file a report about the 
rape.  Knowing the criminal justice system has mare pawer to help rape victims 
than any other institution,  I did as I was advised.  An investigation ensued by the 
Air  Force Office of Special Investigation (AFOSI) on October 5,  2004. 1  naively 
believed the authorities would be taking care of  the individual who attacked me. 
I remember being in my room one evening, and deciding to visit a fellow airman 
on  the second floor  of  my dorm  building.  When  I arrived,  there was  a male 
individual I had  never  seen  before,  present in the  room,  and they  had been 
drinking*  We visited for  a shFf time and the  male  individual, whom  E  did  not 
know, in the  room offered me  a  beer,  I accepted,  he  retrieved the  drink  and 
brought fi to me.  Brief conversation ensued and I returned to my room.  I was 
there between 5 - 9 minutes.  Shortly after retu~ning to my room, the same two 
rnafes  knocked  on  my door.  A  conversation  began  between  me  and  the 
unknown individual,  He began making sexual advances toward me and I refused 
his advances.  It was at this time,  my fellow Airman left  I  remember waking up 
with the stranger fully  engaged in  raping me.  I fell unconscious and the next 
thing I remember was waking up in my fellow Airman's room in his shower, being 
told to "Clean Upw by the Airman who left me to be Raped by his friend. 

Dafe rape drugs are substances which cause a victim to pass out so they cannot 
resist what is being done,  and they will not be able to recall what happened to 
them either. Most date rape drugs are colorless,  odorless and tasteless or have 
taste that can be masked so that they can easify be slipped into a victims d h k  
without the victim noticing. In most cases the victim will have no memory of what 
hhppened, but wili have the physical symptoms of having had sexual intercourse. 
Sometimes the  victim  will  intermittently wake  up  during the  assauk and  have 
partiaf memories of it. Ether way, the victim usually wakes up very confused and 
simply assumes that  they  had had too  much to  drink  and  blacked out.  Rape 
victims where date rape drugs were used are even less likely lo repart the crime 
than other rape victims, They often feel responsible because they feek  as if they 
sirr~ply drank  too  much,  and  they  can't  remember  anything  that  actualfy 
happened. The effects of the drugs can also last for a few days after the assault, 

which causes the victim to not be able to think clearly. By the time they do think 
to  report what  happened all of the evidence might be gone  making 'the c~ime 
extremely difficult to prosecute. 

Up until then,  I had always believed that  rape was  impossible if a woman didn't 
want to be raped, that it could only happen to a warnart who subrrtits. But C  found 
out  how  a woman  can  be totally  immobilized.  It is very  hard to  describe the 
shock of what had happened ... Then I thought of calling the police. And I thought 
no,  I  can't  do that.  It's too  much of  a  horror story.  People would  look  at  me 
differently. If  it's so ho~~ible 
fa me, it must be horrible Po  other people. I didn't want 
anybody to know what happened to me." 
I was  admitted  involuntarily to  Monte Vista  Rehabilitation Center  for  alcohol 
dependency for  a 26 day rehab: program- While there,  the Psychiabist treating 
me prescribed Trazadone 10 mg. for insomnia,  a medication which when taken, 
would allow my body would relax somewhat,  and I  could finally doze off  into a 
light sleep in the early morning hours, providing me with 2 - 3 hours of steep on 
the nights I would fall asleep.  This medication creates the sensation of waking 
up with a strong hangover.  Functioning in a sleep deprivation condition, I was in 
a continual state drowsiness, and lethargy.  My mind was not in proper working 
order,  dysfunctionaI would be more  like it.  I was late to work,  began missing 
appointments, falling behind in my studies and Physical Training. 
After my release From Monte Vista Rehabilitation Center, I asked my Commander 
if I could change dorm morns because I did not feek safe in my soom.  He asked 
far an explanation.  t  did not want to go into the cfetails of the rape, because I did 
not want  to  relive being raped all over  again.  When questioned about why  I 
wanted to change rooms, I had to explain the rape, and the details surrounding it. 
The  response of  the  Commande~ was  shacking and repulsive.  He asked me 
"Are You Sure, The Air Force Is For You?" 

I quickly understood, there would be No Support %from my Superiors, and I was 
completely alone in this.  I was so shocked at the Comrnandefs response, k  was 
emotionally  drained,  and  flooded  with  feelings  of  sadness,  guilt,  blame,  and 
enormous fear that this could happen again.  1 was so alone!  An Investigation by 
the Office of Speciat Investigations (OSI) was  initiated.  By now,  t  believed the 
authorities and my  Superio~s were  going  to  do nothing to  the  individual who 
raped me.  It was at this time, my performance began to suffer.  My appearance 
was not up to par,  the sadness and isolation was overwhelming, I began to drink 
and soon I was dKriking heavily.  f  felt I was not safe in my raom and certainly not 
safe with  a  rapist free  to  rape again,  a  rapist who  the  authorities did  nothing 
I knew  I was  having  difficuky  coping  with  normal  every  day 
about. 
responsibilities, I begged for someone to help me,  to hear me and to fix me,  A 
rnantb later t  self  admitted to "3FW Psychiafric ward at the hospital on  base,  in 
order to be in a safe place.  I 'was there for 5 days.  At this time,  is when I had to 
deal with the passing of one of my grandmothers, and shortly thereafter, another. 

I sought help from every avenue possible:  My Supervisors, My First Shirts, My 
Commander, Life Skills, Chaplains, MEO, ADC, also the IG.  I literally begged for 
someone to help me through all I have had to go through.  Every time I asked for 
help or sought out advice on what 1 needed to do for myself I seemed to get NO 
help from any agency or person I sought out. 

After my release from the hospital I returned to work.  Extremely uncomfortable 
with  male ceworkers,  and  a  sense  of  being nothing more than  refuse to  my 
Commande~, I was indeed a very small insignificant nothing.  The emotions were 
owennrhefrning and it became nearly impossible, at best, to cope and function  in 
my  day to day  duties and  responsibilities.  I believed I could trust No  One!  I 
could not sleep at night, I was exhausted! 

Having experienced the gross  lack of  concern for  me  from  my Corrtniander in 
response to my having been raped, I was in a constant fear of self survival and 
protectiort.  On March 22,2005 1 reported to work at 0840.  E  had missed Physical 
Training  and arrived  fate that  day.  I was  quesfioned about why  t  was  not at 
Physical Training and  I immediately panicked, terrified,  remembering so vividly, 
my Commander's response to t h  sexual assauk I had lived through.  Knowing I 
had R Q ~  gotten to work  on time,  I lied about being at Physical Training.  I was 
asked again, in the same conversation, if I had been at Physical Training.  I was 
ashamed 1  had  lied and admitted the  truth,  I had not been at  PT and  tried  to 
explain abaut being on medication, the insorrrrtia I was suffering From,  the rape 
and recent events. AH  to  no avaii,  it felt  an deaf ears.  They wanted to  hear 
nothing of what 1 had to say.  I was reprimanded 

in  the office of 

Shortly after this incident,  I was  informed,  I would  be receiving an Article  $5, 
Reduction in Grade, and a fodeRure of pay as a result of my  actions.  I phoned 
,  US House of  Representatives, 
t 
Fngress Member and explamed, 1 had a wonderful service career up ta the time 
I returned home from Iraq,  l fur-her  described the slow erosion, and cfeterioratian 
of my performance, and of the toss of my grandmothers and of the horribfe rape I 
had survived, and of what I believed to be the cause and effect of everything that 
had happened up to he: time 1 con€ac€&  him.  I  also stated,  I take complete and 
total  respansibiliiy for  my  actions which  I have control  aver,  however,  E  was 
desperate for someone to help me through this situation. 

- - - - - - . - - . - --  - 

Together  we  initiated  a  Congressional  Investigation  into  the  matters  F  had 
described.  When the paperwork was submitted and individuals were conhcted. I 
was called into my ChiePs Office, (Chief Master Sergeant 
)- 
He told me, not to discuss what he was about to tell me, with my co-workeeKand 
peers, because it would "set a bad precedent."  He went on to say,  I Would Not 
be receiving a reduction in pay, and that I Would Not be forfeiting my Stripes, and 
I would  not be served with an Article  15.  He further stated,  my Congressional 

Investigation Had Nothing To Do With their Decision not to pursue the Article 15. 
And hen he toki me to go back to my desk and get to work. 

I left his ofice, completely dumbfounded, relieved, scared and felt the world had 
just tilted on it's axis.  However, I truly believed, the Congressional Investigation t 
had initiated was exactly the  reason they did not pursue the charges they were 
going to bring against me.  I am also convinced, it was at this time, I was unjustly 
L  further  believe  my  Supervisors  felt  the need  for 
targeted  for  discharge. 
~taliatian and they set out carefully designing my discharge sa as not to allow 
me to utilize any benefits available to me if I had been discharged Honorably. 

- 

m y  Service Representative phoned my Commander on at least two 
occasions  and  explained  I should  receive  nothing  less than  an  Hono~able 
Discharge.  He stated how my behaviors did not merit a  Discharge of  General 
under Honorable Conditions, to no avail! 

According to Webster's Dictionary the definition of Uniform is as follows: 

I.  Not varying 
2.  Of the same form with othersf-procedures) 

By virtue of wearing the uniform of a United States, Airman all soldiers sho~lld be 
treated fairly and equally. However, after I initiated a Congressional Investigation 
as mentioned eartier in this letter,  1  am convinced my Supenriso~s felt the need 
for retalia€ion  and that I was targeted for discharge.  Uniformity in the military is 
vital to the  proper functioning of  a  machine as  large  as the  United States Air 
Force.  Most  often  this  is  the  case,  nonetheless,  I  was  not  given  this 
consideration, for example.. . 

While I was stationed at Nellis Air  Force Base,  a fellow Airman, 
was 
arrested for Drunk in Public, and Defacing Government Property.  His penalty far 
this very  serious c ~ i m e  was  a reduction of one stripe-  He soon regained that 
stripe and was promoted back to his previous rank progressing, promoting and 
moving forward,  with  the  option  of  serving  his  time  and  discharging  with  an 
Honorable Discharge.  My  adions  and behaviors Pale In  Comparison  to  the 
crimes this and other  individuals have committed.  This  is only  one of  many 
instances where uniformity is disregarded in the United States Air Force. 

I believe the lack and denial of intervention and assistance, which is righifully due 
to every member of the military, has been very dekimental to me, my well being. 
personal welfare, and future.  Upon being discharged, I was informed I wol-~ld be 
receiving a "General Under Honorable Conditions."  I explained I feIt  I did not 
deserve this  discharge, and expressed my  concerns about receiving anything 
less  than  honorable,  and  stated  I would  dispute  anything  other  than  an 
Honorable Discharge.  I was informed, I could upgrade the discharge very easily 

by submitting the  proper documentation.  I asked  if this was possible, and was 
told yes,  t would be able to upgrade my discharge.  I believed them and accepted 
the General Under Honorable Conditions Discharge without dispute. 

After  separating from  the  Air  Force,  I contacted  a VA Representative at the 
Veterans Administration Regional Office in Muskogee Oklahoma.  I have been 
informed  the  process to  upgrade  a  discharge  could  take  a  very  long time  to 
upgrade my discharge. 

I am writing  this  letter  in  the  hopes  someone  will  hear  me  and  correct  the 
injustice served to me by the United States Air Force.  1  believe each individual 
should  be held accountable for their  actions, and each situation is unique.  I 
exercised in goad faith, my right €0  pursue herp for all t was experiencing and no 
one woufd hear me.  tn  the hopes of  being heard, I am sending you this  letter, 
and t will continue sending this letter to anyone and everyone who will help me to 
have a voice-  E  believe my Supervisors have exercised grave misconduct in their 
pursuit  to  persecute  me  as  a  response to  my  having  successfully  initiated a 
Congressional investigation.  I love my country, and I feel I have a responsibility 
to honor my fathers memory and in no way  bring any negative attention to the 
United States military.  Notwithstanding, I have a respansibflify to faok out f o ~  my 
well being, which by far,  take precedence over my concerns for military image. 
For  the  purposes  of  using  the  Montgomery  GI  Bill,  and  any  other  benefits 
available  to  Honorably  Discharged Service  members,  t  am  pleading  for  my 
discharge ta- be upgraded ta  Honorable, and nothing less is acceptable-
