            INDEX CODE:  110.00

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His general (under honorable  conditions)  discharge  be  upgraded  to
honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

During his enlistment he was not involved with the civil  authorities.
He received an Article 15 and was involved in  an  accident  on  -----
AFB, but was found to be not at fault for the accident.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant entered into the Air Force  on  26  December  1978.   On
10 July 1980, his commander notified him, that he was recommending  he
be discharged, under the  provisions  of  AFR  39-12,  Separation  for
Unsuitability, Misconduct, Resignation, or Request for  Discharge  for
the Good of the Service and Procedures for the Rehabilitation  Program
(frequent involvement  in  matters  of  a  discreditable  nature  with
military authorities), with a  general  (under  honorable  conditions)
discharge.  The basis for the action was that on  10  March  1979,  he
received an Article 15 for wrongfully using provoking and  reproachful
words towards an allied Air  Force  student;  on  10  March  1979,  he
received a Letter of Reprimand for loitering on post (sleeping); on 10
April 1980, he received counseling for failure to annotate  AFTO  Form
374, Operators Inspection Guide and Trouble Report; on 10 April  1980,
received counseling for violation of AFR  35-10;  on  10  April  1980,
received counseling for vehicle  misuse;  on  25  May  1980,  received
counseling concerning a speeding ticket received on  base;  on  2 June
1980, received 3 Armed Forces Traffic Tickets  involving  an  accident
and on 2 June 1980, received an Article 15 for violation of California
Vehicle  code.   He  waived  his  right  to  a   hearing   before   an
administrative  discharge  board  and  submitting  statements  in  his
behalf.  The base legal office found the case was  legally  sufficient
to support discharge.  He was discharged on 21 July  1980,  under  the
provisions of AFM 39-12,  Separation  for  Unsuitability,  Misconduct,
Resignation, or Request for Discharge for the Good of the Service  and
Procedures for the Rehabilitation Program (frequent involvement  of  a
discreditable nature with  civil  or  military  authorities),  with  a
general (under honorable conditions) discharge.   He  served  a  total
1 year, 6 months and 26 days of active duty service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  Based on the documentation on  file  in
the master personnel records, the discharge was  consistent  with  the
procedural and substantive requirements of the  discharge  regulation.
The discharge was within the 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.  He  provided
no other facts warranting an upgrade of his discharge.

The 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 4
Jun 04, 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 to warrant an  upgrade  of  his
discharge.  After careful consideration of the available evidence,  we
found no indication that the actions taken  to  effect  his  discharge
were  improper  or  contrary  to  the  provisions  of  the   governing
regulations in effect at the time, or that the actions  taken  against
the applicant were based on factors other  than  his  own  misconduct.
The only other basis upon which to  upgrade  his  discharge  would  be
based  on  clemency.   However,  applicant  has  failed   to   provide
documentation pertaining to his post service  activities.   Therefore,
based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which
to favorably consider 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.
