STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from the

the appropriate office of the Air Force.
The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's
request to have his general discharge upgraded to honorable on 8

_________________________________________________________________
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 14 June 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 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 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.
