AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

------ 

DOCKET NUMBER:  9 8 - 0 2 7 1 0  
COUNSEL:  None 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  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  Mr.  Michael  P.  Higgins,  Mr.  Richard  A. 
Peterson, andT Mr. Patrick R. Wheeler considered this application 
on 2  February 1 9 9 9   in accordance with the provisions of Air Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 410,_U.S.C. 3-552.

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 
FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPRS 

550 C Street West Ste 11 
Randolph AF€3 TX  78150-4713 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was discharged fiom the Air Force 29 

Jul82 under the provisions of AFM 39-12 (Unsuitability-Apathy, Defective Attitude) with an 
under honorable conditions (general) discharge.  She served 01 year 06 months and  16 days total 
active service. 

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

Basis for Request.  Applicant does not claim an error or injustice in the discharge she received 

she only states the reason it has been more than three years since the alleged injustice was 
discovered is because of ignorance of the law.  That she was not aware that the discharge aRer 
one year of inactive service could be upgraded to honorable. 

Facts.  On 02 Jul82, applicant was notified by her commander that invsoluntary discharge 

action had been initiated against her for defective attitude as evidenced by her failure to maintain 
prescribed standards of military deportment and her inability to expand efforts constructively as 
demonstrated by her receipt of Art  15 punishment on 14 Jan 82, for failure to go at the time 
prescribed to her appointed place of duty.  She received a second Art 15 on 18 Jun 82, for her 
failure to go.  In addition, during the period 05 Mar 82 to 08 Jun 82, she had received one Letter 
of Reprimand, for having an unauthorized male guest in dormitory room aRer visiting hours, and 
one Letter of Counseling, for being late to work.  Applicant was advised she had a right to consult 
counsel and the right to submit statements in her own behalf.  On 13 Jul82 the applicant was 
interviewed by the appointed individual evaluation officer.  The evaluation officer found the 
applicant to be unsuitable for fkrther military service because of a failure to maintain prescribed 
standards of military deportment.  Consistent with his findings, the evaluation officer 
recommended discharge with a general discharge certificate. The case was reviewed by the base 
legal office and found to legally sufficient to support discharge. The discharge authority approved 
the recommendation for discharge and directed that the applicant be krnished a general discharge 
certificate without probation. 

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 her discharge.  The records indicate member's military service was reviewed and 
appropriate action was taken. 

. 

Recommendation.  Applicant did not identifl any specific 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 not has filed a timely request.
