AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE 

CASE NUMBER 

FD-2(,06-00213 

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 oi' 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. 

ISSUE: 

Although not explicitly stated, applicant contends his discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. 
The records indicated the applicant received a General discharge for misconduct (drug abuse).  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 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 discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
