RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01955
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to an
honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he served in the Air Force at a very young age, he was involved
in a relationship while he was married. He was very young and not
knowledgeable of life at that particular age. He experienced
relationship problems that affected his duty as an airman serving the
Air Force. He would appreciate consideration of upgrading his
discharge.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits a personal statement
and DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge or Dismissal
From the Armed Forces of the United States.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
28 October 1983. The commander recommended applicant be discharged
under the provisions of AFR 39-10 (misconduct - pattern of minor
disciplinary infractions) with service characterized under honorable
conditions (general) discharge on 10 December 1985 in the grade of
airman. He served 2 years, 1 month and 20 days of total active
service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial. That office indicates that the
applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the discharge proceedings. Additionally,
the applicant provided no facts warranting an upgrade of the discharge
he received. Accordingly, DPPRS recommend his records remain the same
and his request be denied.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 5 April 2002, for review and comment within 30 days. 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, the Board excused
the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. 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. The
applicant has not established by his submission that the discharge was
not consistent with procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge regulations or that it was not within the sound discretion
of the discharge authority. We agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the
basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his
burden of having suffered either an error or an injustice.
Therefore, in absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
