STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 September 1974 in the
grade of airman basic for a period of six years. He was promoted to
the grade of airman first class on 17 October 1974, and the grade of
senior airman on 1 August 1976. He received two Airman Performance
Reports (APRs) closing 29 May 1975 and 29 May 1976, in which the
overall evaluations were “9” and “6.”
He received nonjudicial punishment under Article 15, dated 15 April
1977, for failure to go to appointed place of duty on 29 and 30 March
1977 and disobeying a lawful order. Punishment consisted of reduction
to airman first class. He did not appeal the punishment.
Applicant’s Chronological Record of Medical Care indicates he had an
alcohol/drug abuse interview on 12 November 1976. On 27 April 1977,
he underwent a physical examination for the purpose of separation
under AFR 39-12. In the Notes Section, it was indicated the applicant
reported numerous instances of illegal drug use.
The applicant, while serving in the grade of Airman First Class, was
separated from the Air Force under other than honorable conditions
(UOTHC) on 27 May 1977. His SPD reveals separation under the
provisions of AFR 39-12, Section F, Request for Discharge in Lieu of
Trial by Courts-Martial. He was assigned an RE code of 2P which
reveals separation under the provisions of AFR 39-10 as marginal
performer or to preserve good order ahd discipline. He served 2
years, 8 months and 22 days of total active service.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, WV, provided an investigative report which is attached at
Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS states that they believe the discharge was consistent with
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation. Additionally, the discharge was within the discretion of
the discharge authority. Therefore, they recommend denial of
applicant’s request.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 October 2003, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days and on 5
November 2003, a copy of the FBI Report was forwarded for review and
response within 14 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, 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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the 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.
