CASE NUMBER

 AIR FORCE DISCHARGE REVIEW BOARD DECISIONAL RATIONALE    FD-2013-00738

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 applicant and the factors leading to the discharge. FINDING: The Board denies the upgrade of the discharge.
 ISSUE: The applicant was given a general discharge due to misconduct - drug abuse
The applicant contends discharge was inequitable due to the discharge was based on an off duty incident.
 The record indicates that the applicant received an Article 15 for wrongful use of Spice. 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 three years and three months of service was unaware of the Air Force policy of zero tolerance to drug abuse. 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.
