RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-03482
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for discharge be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The offenses he committed during his active duty military service were
inappropriate but those actions are now a hindrance to his future. He
states that during his exploration of youth he managed to experience a
normal maturity process and in part of that exploration he lost the
respect of the country he loves and his acceptance to serve it. The
applicant states that he now understands that the results of his
actions were not only costly to him, but to the government. He
apologizes for his actions and requests these changes as an adult.
In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
1 July 1998 for a term of 4 years.
On 19 June 2001, the applicant's commander notified him that he was
being discharged from the Air Force for a pattern of misconduct,
specifically minor disciplinary infractions. The applicant was
involved in numerous acts of underage drinking. As a result, he
received Article 15 punishment and an Unfavorable Information File.
He also received several Letters of Counseling for failure to go on
time, failure to go to appointed duty location, and failure to pay his
government credit card balance. Punishment included reduction in
grade, forfeiture of pay and 30 days correctional custody. He was not
entitled to a Board hearing. In view of his continued misconduct and
failure to respond to corrective efforts, probation and rehabilitation
were not recommended. He waived his rights to consult legal counsel
and did not submit statements. The discharge case was reviewed by the
base legal office and found to be legally sufficient to support
discharge. The discharge authority approved his separation and
ordered a general discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
Applicant was discharged on 6 July 2001. He served 3 years and 5 days
on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Although the applicant submitted a
statement expressing remorse of his misconduct, he did not submit any
new evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing. He provided no other facts warranting an
upgrade of the discharge. The DPPRS evaluation is at attachment C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
20 Dec 02, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice to warrant changing his
narrative reason for discharge. After careful consideration of the
available evidence, we found no indication that the actions taken to
effect his discharge were improper or contrary to the provisions of
the governing regulations in effect at the time, or that the actions
taken against the applicant were based on factors other than his own
misconduct. 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, 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.

As of this date, no response has been received by this office. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his discharge separation and reenlistment code should be changed. We therefore agree with the recommendations of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.
