SSN HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under honorable conditions (general) discharge be upgraded to an
honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was young at that time and now that he has realized the direction
of his life as a minister and pastor, he wishes to correct his past
(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.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS states that based on the documentation in the applicant's
records, they believe that the applicant's discharge was consistent
with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and that the discharge was within the sound discretion of
discharge authority. DPPRS further states that the applicant has not
submitted any new evidence or identified any errors or injustices that
may have occurred during his discharge processing. The applicant has
not provided any supporting documentation to warrant upgrading his
discharge. DPPRS recommends denying the applicant's request.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 15 February 2002, 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. After careful
consideration of the circumstances of this case and the evidence
provided by the applicant, we are not persuaded that the discharge he
received was in error or unjust. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the
Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
