INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He never received proper rehabilitation/support to overcome his problems
while on active duty.
In support of his request, applicant submits a copy of his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, and an endorsement
letter from The American Legion.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 22 July 1998, the applicant enlisted in the United States Air Force for
four years. On 5 October 2000, the applicant was discharged with a general
(under honorable conditions) discharge under the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-3208 (pattern of misconduct). He had served 2 years, 2
months and 14 days on active duty.
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 at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied. DPPRS states that the
applicant’s drinking problem was being treated while on active duty. This
was evident by his admission to a chemical dependency treatment center.
DPPRS further states that he did not submit any new evidence or identify
any error or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.
The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant provides an explanation of his actions and the circumstances that
led to his disciplinary actions. In closing, he requests to appear before
the Board so he may better explain the issues.
The applicant’s submission is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. After careful consideration of
the applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we see no
evidence of an error or injustice that would warrant corrective action.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find
no compelling basis to recommend granting relief sought in this
application.
4. 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 issues involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
___________________________________________________________________
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.
