AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

SEP  2 9  

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-00432 
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED: YES 

Applicant  requests  she  be  given  all  back  benefits  and  the 
opportunity to serve as an Aerial Port Officer in the Air Force 
Reserves.  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). 
Applicant's response to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit E. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available evidence of  record, we  find the application untimely. 
Applicant did not file this request within three years after the 
alleged error  or  injustice was  discovered, or reasonably could 
have  been  discovered,  as  required  by  10, U.S.C.  1552  and  Air 
Force Instruction 39-2603.  Applicant has not  shown a plausible 
reason for the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the 
record  raises  issues  of  error  or  injustice  which  require 
resolution on the merits.  Thus, we cannot conclude it would be 
in the interest of justice to excuse applicant's failure to file 
in a timely manner. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied as untimely. 
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 Mr. David W. Mulgrew, Mrs. Margaret A. Zook 
and Mr. Gary Appleton considered this application on 22 September 
1998, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 
36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U  .C. 1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR  AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPRP 

550 C Street West, Suite 1 1  
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 13 

SUBJECT: Application for Correction of Military Record 

The applicant, while serving on active duty in the grade of second lieutenant, was 
determined, by the Secretary of the Air Force Personnel Council, to be not qualified for 
promotion to the grade of first lieutenant.  As a result, the Secretary of the Air Force directed that 
she be involuntarily discharged under the provisions of AFR 36-12, Involuntary Discharge: 2d Lt 
not Qualified for Promotion.  Applicant was discharge on 23 Sep 85 with an honorable discharge. 
She had 02 years 08 month and  12 days total active service. 

Requested Action.  The applicant is  requesting all back benefits and the opportunity to 

serve as an Aerial Port Officer in the Air For Reserves.  Applicant claims that she was 
involuntarily separated after she received her promotion and because she is an Mican-American 
female that told an Air Force Colonel that we had wasted 27 million dollars.  This advisory will 
address only the discharge processing in the case. 

Facts.  The commander’s recommendation for not qualified for promotion case file is not 

in applicant’s master personnel record.  However, Pursuant to AFR 36-89, the Air Force 
Personnel Board met on 05 Aug 85 to determine if applicant was qualified for promotion to the 
grade of first lieutenant. The Board review all available records in connection with the 
proceeding and found that the applicant was not qualified for promotion to the grade of first 
lieutenant and recommended immediate discharge fiom all appointments she held in the United 
States Air Force.  On 09 Sep 85, the Secretary of the Air Force determined that the applicant was 
not qualified for promotion to first lieutenant and directed her immediate discharge fiom the Air 
Force.  The case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or 
irregularities in the separation processing causing an injustice to the applicant.  The discharge 
complies with directives and law in effect at the time of discharge.
