record, such as misconduct. Although we cannot conclusively determine the applicant was discharged for her sexual orientation, based on our review of the facts and circumstances in this case, it is our opinion her discharge more likely than not meets both conditions noted above. In this respect, we note the applicate was discharged under Air Force Manual 39-12, which includes provisions for the discharge of personnel for homosexual acts during a member's service. While this provision of the regulation does include other bases for discharge not related to homosexuality, we believe it more likely than not the applicant was discharged for her sexual orientation and there were no aggravating factors in the record that could, in and of themselves, form the basis of an adverse discharge. With respect to the applicant's request to amend her DD Form 214 to include her social security number, a new DD Form 214 will be issued on the latest form in which the social security number is required. Therefore, in the interest of justice, we believe it is appropriate to recommend her records be corrected as set forth below

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force related to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 11 Mar 55, she was furnished an "Honorable" discharge with a narrative reason for separation of "Secretarial Authority," and a reentry code of "1J" and was furnished an Honorable Discharge certificate.
