AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE		 CASE NUMBER

FD-2013-00671

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 and requests that the review be completed based on the available service record.

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

FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge.

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

The applicant states that his discharge did not take into account the good things he did while in the service. The record shows that the applicant received an Article 15 for failure to refrain from distributing a muscle relaxant, used muscle relaxant to alter mood or function, wrongful distribution of two pills of Percocet and wrongful use of Percocet.       The applici;mt was identified during an OSI investigation and admitted to the misconduct. After review of the record, the Board found no evidence to indicate that the applicant did not know right from wrong or that in his four years and eleven months 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 of the applicant's performance and concluded that the discharge was 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
