ISSUE: Applicant received a General discharge for Misconduct -Drug Abuse

Applicant submitted no issues regarding the inequity or impropriety of her discharge. The record indicates that the applicant received an Article 15 for wrongful use of marijuana. The applicant admitted to the use. After review of the record, the Board found no evidence to indicate that the applicant did not know right from wrong or that in her seven years of service was unaware of the Air Force policy of zero tolerance to drug use. The Board found the negative aspects of the willful misconduct outweighed the positive aspects c the applicant's performance and concluded that the discharge was appropriate.

CONCLUSION: The Discharge Review Board concludes that the discharge was consistent with tt procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion of tt discharge authority and 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 fc
upgrade of discharge and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.
