AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

JUL  2 7  i998 

IN THE MATTGR OF: 

DOCKET NO:  97-03794 
COUNSEL:  None 
-  -- 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  her  general  discharge  be  upgraded  to 
honorable.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion to the Board  recommending the 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available evidence of  record, we  find  insufficient  evidence of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied, we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 
Members of the Board Ms. Martha Maust, Mr. Robert W. Zook  and Mr. 
Kenneth L. Reinertson considered this application on 23 July 1998 
in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force  Instruction 
36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCLDPPRS 

550 C Street West Ste 11 
Randolph AFB TX  78150-4713 

SUBJECT:  Application for Correction of Military Records 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman second class, was discharged fiom the Air 

Force 19 Oct 53 under the provisions of AFR 39-16 (Unsuitability) and received an under 
honorable conditions (general) discharge.  She served 01 year, 05 months and 29 days total active 
service. 

Requested Action.  The applicant is requesting that her discharge be upgraded to honorable. 

Basis for Reauest.  Applicant states that she did a good job while in the Air Force and followed 
all rules of conduct and never got into trouble. 

Facts.  On 03 Sep 53, applicant was advised by her commander that she was to appear before a 
Board of Officers who would make recommendation concerning her discharge fiom the Air Force 
because of evidence of her emotional immaturity and instability, Applicant appeared before a 
Board of Officers without counsel.  Applicant had indicated to various officers that she desired 
reassignment to another section.  Each officer had interviewed her and counseled her, in an 
attempt to assign her to duties within the squadron. Upon reassignment to a new job, after a 
period of break-in, she appeared to lose all interest and had been a constant source of trouble in 
that she could not be counted upon to perfam the duties assigned to her.  She was seen by the 
base psychiatrist who after an 18 day observation and study,  recommended that she be 
discharged for inaptitude and unsuitability.  The discharge board’s findings and recommendations 
were:  that the applicant was unsuitable for hrther military service and recommended that she be 
discharged because of unsuitability and she be given an under honorable conditions (general) 
discharge.  The discharge authority approved the Board’s recommendation and directed that 
applicant be discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-16 and that she be issued an under 
honorable conditions (general) discharge certificate. 

Discussion.  This case has been reviewed and the discharge was consistent with the procedural 
and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the sound discretion of 
the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.  The 
records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and appropriate action was taken. 

, 

Recommendation.  Applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors in the 

discharge processing nor provide facts which warrant an upgrade of the discharge she received. 
Accordingly, we recommend applicant's request be denied.  She has not filed a timely request.
