INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general discharge be changed to honorable.

states that he never failed any alcohol class. The applicant declares
that he was also assaulted and the person was never charged.
In support of his request, the applicant does not provide any

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
25 June 1985 for a term of 4 years.
On 13 August 1986, the applicant's commander notified him that he was
recommending he be discharged from the Air Force for his failure in
the social actions alcohol rehabilitation program. The basis for the
action was on 27 May 1986, the applicant was entered into the alcohol
rehabilitation program and on 15 July 1986, he was determined to have
failed to complete the program because of his continued alcohol
incidents. He received a letter of reprimand on 28 February 1986 for
discharging fireworks on base. He received an Article 15 on 9 July
1986 for being disorderly on station, willfully damaging a dormitory
hallway by punching a hole in the wall and for striking another airman
in the face with his fist. The applicant was counseled and afforded
an opportunity to overcome his deficiencies prior to the initiation of
this action. The commander and staff judge advocate recommended
discharge without probation and rehabilitation (P&R) because applicant
continued to disregard his responsibilities.
He consulted counsel but waived his right to submit matters for
consideration. The discharge case was reviewed by the base legal
office and found to be legally sufficient to support discharge. The
discharge authority approved his discharge and ordered a general
discharge without P&R.
Applicant was discharged on 27 August 1986. The applicant served one
year, two months and three days on active duty.
On 5 January 1989, the Air Force Discharge Review Board considered and
denied applicant’s request for an upgrade of discharge and change of
reason for separation.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. The applicant did not submit any new
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing. Additionally, he provided no facts warranting a
change in his discharge.
The 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 4
April 03, 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 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of
the documentation provided in support of his appeal and the evidence
of record, it is our opinion that given the circumstances surrounding
his separation from the Air Force, the discharge was proper and in
compliance with the appropriate directives. Applicant has not
provided any evidence, which would lead us to believe otherwise.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend a change to his discharge
characterization.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
