AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NUMBER: 98-01545
)
COUNSEL
HEARING DESIRED:
3.:'3\! 1 3
Applicant requests that her late husband's discharge be upgraded
to a general (under honorable conditions).
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 the 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 applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
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. Vaughn E. Schlunz, Mr. Loren S.
Perlstein, and Mr. Terry A. Yonkers considered this application
on 29 October 1998, in accordance with the provisions of Air
Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U . S . C .
1552.

lication for Correction of Military Records
The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was discharged from the Air Force 06
Nov 72 under the provisions of AFM 39-12 (Misconduct-Frequent Involvement of a Discreditable
Nature) with an undesirable discharge. He served 03 years 09 months and 01 day total active
service.
Reauested Action. Applicant’s spouse is requesting an upgrade of his discharge to
generalhonorable.
Basis for Request. Applicant has submitted several letters of recommendations and character
statements in support of her appeal for an upgrade of the discharge her deceased husband
received. She also states an undesirable discharge was excessive for the offense committed.
Facts. On 10 Oct 72, applicant was notified by his commander that involuntary discharge
action had been initiated against him for his frequent involvement of a discreditable nature with
military authorities. The commander indicated his reasons for his action were that on 3 1 Mar 71,
applicant was convicted by a Special Court Martial for possession of marijuana and for attempting
to sell marijuana. Also, applicant was AWOL during the period 14 Jul71 to 15 Jul71 and again
from 17 Jul71 to 02 Aug 71. In addition, he was arrested by civil authorities for driving under
the influence of alcohol and again for being drunk in public. Applicant had resisted all efforts to
counsel him and in fact, he demonstrated a belligerent and hostile attitude toward those who had
attempted to help him. The applicant was advised that he had a right to consult legal counsel.
M e r consulting an appointed military legal counsel, applicant signed a waiver of his right to a
hearing before a board of officers. The case was reviewed by the base legal office and was found
to be legally sufficient to support discharge. The discharge authority approved the
recommendation for discharge on 27 Oct 72 and directed that the applicant be fbrnished an
undesirable discharge certificate without probation and rehabilitation.
Discussion. This case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or
irregularities causing an injustice to the applicant. The discharge complies with directives in effect
at the time of his discharge. The records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and
appropriate action was taken.
Recommendation. Applicant did not identi@ any specific errors in the discharge processing nor
provide facts which warrant an upgrade of the discharge her deceased husband received.
Accordingly, we recommend applicant’s request be denied. She has not filed a timely request.
