RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00201
INDEX CODE 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) 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 his 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 at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial. The applicant did not submit any new
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing. He provided no other facts warranting a change
in his discharge. Accordingly, DPPRS recommend his records remain the
same and his request be denied. He did not file a timely request.
AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and comment. His spouse provided a written statement in the
applicant’s behalf.
The applicant’s spouse's complete response 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and
applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his discharge should
be upgraded to honorable. We find no impropriety in the
characterization of the applicant's discharge. It appears that
responsible officials applied appropriate standards in effecting the
separation, and we do not find persuasive evidence that pertinent
regulations were violated or that the applicant was not afforded all
the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge. We conclude,
therefore, that the discharge proceedings were proper and
characterization of the discharge was appropriate to the existing
circumstances. The only other basis upon which to upgrade this
discharge would be based on clemency. However, the applicant failed
to provide documentation pertaining to his post-service activities.
Should he provide documentary evidence pertaining to his post-service
activities, we would be willing to reconsider his appeal. In the
absence of such evidence, favorable action is not recommended.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01435 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from 2C to 1J so that she may reenlist in the Navy. The evidence of records supports the stated reasons for the applicant's separation for the Air Force and we are not persuaded by the evidence provided...
The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman, was discharged from the Air Force on 13 May 1981 under the provisions of AFM 39-12 (Misocnduct- Drug Abuse - Board), with an undesirable discharge. In this case, the applicant provided no facts warranting an upgrade of the discharge he received. Therefore, we agree with opinions and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
