AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISlONAL RATIONALE
CASE NLIMBER
FD-2006-00283
GENERAL: The applicant appeals for upgrade of discharge 10 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 thc 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.
ISSUE:
The applicant requested for the Board to upgrade her discharge to Honorablc, Applicant states that the
substance abuse was a short-term problem that was promptly addressed by attending inpatient treatment.
Today the applicant lives a clean and sober life. She is trying to correct her mistakes. The record indicates
the applicant received a General discharge from the ANG for Drug Abuse, but is missing the discharge
documentation. Lacking this evidence or any supporting documentation by the applicant, the Board relies on
the presumption of regularity and finds the characterization of the discharge receivcd by the applicant 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 cxists no legal or equitable basis for
upgrade of discharge, thus the applicant's discharge should not be changed.
