IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1985-03929
INDEX NUMBER: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation be changed.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reason he was given for his separation was not justified. His
commander offered to let him out of the service and he accepted.
His conduct was never proven to be a discredit and he would like
this comment removed. He was accused of kicking someone but was
never convicted or charged with anything.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit F.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENTS OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 1 Oct 80, for a
period of four years in the grade of airman basic.
On 25 Jun 82, administrative discharge action was initiated against
the applicant. The bases for this action were: a 21 Sep 81,
letter of nonrecommendation for promotion for 39 dishonored checks
totaling $1,300; a 25 Sep 81, letter of reprimand (LOR) for
financial irresponsibility; three letters of counseling between
4 Dec 81 and 8 Apr 82 for leaving his line badge at home, being
late for work and having a physical altercation with a coworker; an
LOR on 24 Mar 82 for being absent from his duty section for
excessive periods without authority on 26 Feb 82 and 9-11 Mar 82,
and an LOR on 16 Jun 82 for being absent from assigned weekend
standby duty on 5 Jun 82; on 9 Jun 82, he was reduced to the grade
of airman and forfeiture of $100 per month for two months pursuant
to Article 15, UCMJ, for failure to go at the prescribed time to
appointed place of duty on or about 17 May 82, and being
disrespectful in language on or about 18 May 87 toward his superior
noncommissioned officer, who was in the execution of his office, by
saying to him “this is all the respect you are going to get from
me” and “you think you’re tough, don’t you,” or words to that
effect.
After being advised of the nature of his case by an evaluation
officer, the applicant elected not to appeal or submit matters in
writing. The Staff Judge Advocate found the case legally
sufficient and recommended a general discharge without probation
and rehabilitation. The discharge authority approved the case on
28 Jul 82 and directed a general discharge.
Applicant was discharged on 4 Aug 82, in the grade of airman, under
the provisions of AFM 39-12, by reason of “Misconduct – Frequent
Involvement of a Discreditable Nature” with a general discharge.
He was issued an RE code of 2B (involuntarily separated with a
general discharge). He served on active duty for 1 year,
10 months, and 4 days.
On 15 January 1986, the AFBCMR considered and denied an application
submitted by applicant requesting that his general discharge be
upgraded and his Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed.
For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
application, and the rationale of the earlier decision by the
Board, see the Record of Proceedings (ROP) at Exhibit E.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
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 are not persuaded that the narrative reason for
separation should be changed. The discharge appears to be in
compliance with the governing manual and we find no evidence to
indicate that his separation from the Air Force was inappropriate
or that it was based on any factors other than his own misconduct.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis upon which to favorably consider applicant’s request to
change the narrative reason for his discharge.
___________________________________________________________________
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.

Several post-trial clemency evaluations were submitted and, while some recommendations were mixed, the majority recommended the trial recommendations of clemency be accepted. On 5 Dec 96, the applicant appealed to the Air Force Discharge Review Board (DRB). In the attached statement, the applicant indicates he would appreciate an upgrade to a general discharge if honorable was not possible.

It appears that prior to any legal action being taken by civilian authorities, the applicant was advised by his section commander that if he received a suspended sentence for the civilian offense of grand larceny for allegedly stripping an automobile, the Air Force would not impose any further punishment. It appears that he has had a clean record since that time. Exhibit E. Letter, SAF/MRBR, dated 2 May 03.
