IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-03705
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general, under other than honorable conditions, discharge be
upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged in 1984 due to some financial mismanagement that
resulted in him writing some bad checks. He has since learned his
lesson concerning personal finance. He contends also that his first
sergeant and commander told him his discharge would be upgraded if
requested.
Applicant’s appeal is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 12 Jul 1983. He
was promoted to the grade of Airman (AMN/E-2) with an effective date
and date of rank of 12 Jan 1984.
Applicant received a Letter of Counseling (LOC) on 14 Dec 1983 for
failing a room inspection. He received an LOC on 23 Jan 1984 for
failing a uniform inspection. On 8 Mar 1984, the applicant was cited
for not having his hair cut with an LOC. On 12 Mar 1984, applicant
received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for writing a bad check. On 5
Apr 1984, the applicant received another LOR for writing a bad check.
He received an Article 15 on 29 Mar 1984 for writing a bad check. The
Article 15 imposed a reduction in grade to Airman Basic (AB/E-1),
forfeiture of $100 (both of which were suspended, unless sooner
vacated, until 22 Sep 1984) and 30 days of correctional custody. The
reduction in grade to AB was vacated on 4 Apr 1984 as the applicant
reported to correctional custody without required items he was ordered
to report with. His new date of rank for AB was 10 Apr 1984.
On 13 Apr 1984, the applicant received notification that he was being
recommended for discharge due his pattern of misconduct. He received
a general discharge on 24 Apr 1984 under the provisions of AFR 39-10,
(Misconduct-Pattern Conduct Prejudicial to Good Order and Discipline).
He was not considered for Probation and Rehabilitation (P&R). He had
completed a total of 9 months and 13 days and was serving in the grade
of AB at the time of discharge. He received a Reenlistment
Eligibility Code (RE) of 2B, which defined means Discharged under
General or other-than-honorable conditions.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS stated that based on the
information in the applicant’s file, the discharge was consistent with
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge authority.
Additionally, DPPRS notes that the applicant provided no new evidence
to support his claim nor did he identify any errors or injustices that
occurred during the discharge processing.
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 on
10 January 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, there has been no response 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 warranting an upgrade of the
characterization of his service. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and applicant's submission, we are not persuaded
that the actions taken against him were improper, contrary to the
provisions of the governing regulations in effect at the time, or
based on factors other than his own misconduct. Therefore, in the
absence of persuasive 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.
