RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-00349
INDEX CODE: 110.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force. Accordingly, there is no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of investigation,
Washington, D.C., indicated on the basis of the data furnished they
were unable to locate an arrest record (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Separations Branch, Directorate of Personnel Program Mgmt,
AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed the application and states that the applicant
while serving as airman basic was discharged for misconduct (drug
abuse) and received an under honorable conditions (general) discharge.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 11 April 2000, for review and response. As of this date,
no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest
of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. We find no impropriety in the characterization of applicant’s
discharge. It appears that responsible officials applied appropriate
standards in effecting applicant’s involuntary separation, and we do
not find persuasive evidence that pertinent regulations were violated
or that applicant was not afforded all the rights to which entitled at
the time of discharge. Therefore, we conclude that the discharge
proceedings were proper and characterization of the discharge was
appropriate to the existing circumstances.
4. Further, while the recommendation from the Air Force is duly
noted, based on the applicant’s serious misconduct involving drug
abuse while on active duty, we find insufficient evidence to warrant
upgrading his discharge on the basis of clemency. In coming to our
decision, we considered applicant’s overall quality of service and the
events which precipitated his discharge. However, regardless of his
apparent clean FBI record and the Air Force’s recommendation to
upgrade the discharge, we do not find a compelling basis upon which
clemency is warranted in this case.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice;
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
