AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1993-00751
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests that his
general discharge be upgraded to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was discharged with a general (under honorable conditions)
discharge on 30 September 1991 because of misconduct (drug abuse). At the
time of his separation, he was credited with 5 years, 5 months and 8 days
of total active duty service.
On 1 February 1993, the applicant submitted an application requesting his
general discharge be upgraded to honorable. On 22 July 1993, the Board
considered and denied the applicant’s request. A complete copy of the
Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit E.
The applicant submitted a letter dated 23 February 1996, again requesting
that his general discharge be upgraded to honorable. On 20 March 1996, he
was informed that his request did not meet the criteria for reconsideration
by the Board (Exhibit F).
On 9 November 2002, the applicant submitted a DD Form 293, Application for
the Review of Discharge or Dismissal from the Armed Forces of the United
States, again requesting that his discharge be upgraded to honorable. In
support of his request, he provided a personal statement, two college
transcripts, and five character references (Exhibit G).
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, West Virginia, indicated on the basis of the data furnished
they were unable to locate an arrest record (Exhibit H).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After reviewing the facts of this case and the evidence provided by the
applicant in support of his request for reconsideration, we do not believe
a reversal of the earlier decision is warranted. The applicant is
requesting that his discharge be upgraded based on his successful post-
service adjustment. He has provided limited evidence that appears to
indicate he is a productive member of his community. However we note that
only two of the character references (one from his spouse) was prepared in
connection with his most recent request. We do not find that the limited
evidence provided supports upgrading his discharge to fully honorable based
on the seriousness of the infractions he committed against the good order
and discipline of the service. In view of the above and in the absence of
evidence by the applicant showing his service was inappropriately
characterized as “under honorable conditions,” the applicant’s request is
not favorably considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
