AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00563
GENERAL: The applicant appeals to change the reason and authority for the discharge and to change the reenlistment code.
The applicant was offered a personal appearance before the Discharge Review Board (DRB) but declined and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.

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

FINDING: The requests to change the reason and authority for discharge and to change the reenlistment are denied.

ISSUE: Applicant received an Honorable discharge for Alcohol Rehabilitation Failure

Although not explicitly stated, the applicant contends her discharge was inequitable because it was too harsh. She states that she completed an alcohol rehabilitation program and would now like a change to the narrative reason for discharge and reenlistment code in order to seek better employment and possibly enter the
military again. Upon review of the record, the Board was unable to find any documentation regarding the discharge. Due to lack of evidence and supporting documentation to explain the discharge, the Board concludes that the misconduct was a significant departure from the conduct expected of all military members. The Board relies on the presumption of regularity and finds the characterization; reason for discharge and the reenlistment code were appropriate.

CONCLUSION: 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 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 and determines the discharge should remain unchanged.

Attachment: Examiner's Brief
