RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03707
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of her discharge, she was never convicted of a crime,
never received a negative urinalysis and the allegations against her
was not enough to go to court. Allegations were all hearsay. She
feels she was unjustly discharge and would like her records updated
and upgraded.
In support of the request, she submits a copy of DD Form 214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
28 October 1985. On 18 December 1987, the applicant was discharged
under the provisions of AFM 39-10 (Misconduct-Drug Abuse), with
service characterized as general (under honorable conditions) in the
grade of airman. She served 2 years, 1 month and 20 days of total
active military service.
On 12 November 1987, applicant's commander recommended discharge due
to misconduct - drug abuse. On 15 July 1986, the member wrongfully
used marijuana and received an Article 15 with a reduction to airman
and 7 days correctional custody.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial and stated that based upon the
documentation in the file, the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation.
Additional, the discharge was within the sound discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant did not submit any new evidence or
identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge
processing. She provided no other facts warranting an upgrade of the
discharge. Accordingly, they recommends his records remain the same
and his request be denied.
AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 19 December 2003, for review and comment within 30 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, the Board excused
the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice. The records reflect that the
commander initiated administrative actions based on information he
determined to be reliable. The applicant was afforded all rights
granted by statute and regulation and we find no evidence that the
commander abused his discretionary authority when he initiated the
discharge action. Applicant has provided no evidence showing that her
separation was in error or unjust, therefore, we conclude that no
basis exists to grant favorable action on her request.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of a 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.

She was given the option to remain in the Air Force or separate from active duty and re-enter the Air Force at a later date.
