INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He would like to be able to receive all the benefits he is entitled to as a
Veteran, including a VA loan.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 19 November 1976, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force at the
age of 19 in the grade of airman (E-2) for a period of four (4) years. He
was progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5).
The following is a resume of his last five (5) Enlisted Performance Reports
(EPRs), commencing with the report closing 21 May 1983:
PERIOD ENDING PROMOTION RECOMMENDATION
21 May 1983 9
21 May 1984 9
10 Nov 1984 9
10 Nov 1985 7
15 May 1986 8
On 12 August 1982, he received an Article 15 for dereliction of duties.
For this incident, he was reduced to the grade of Airman First Class
(suspended until 14 February 1983, unless sooner vacated) and forfeited
$150.00.
On 2 August 1985, he received an Article 15 for wrongful use of marijuana.
For this incident, he was reduced to the grade of sergeant (E-4), and
forfeited $200.00 per month for two months.
On 23 October 1985, his commander approved the recommendation by his
supervisor that his NCO status be vacated. He reverted to the rank of
senior airman. The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification, and
elected not to appeal the decision.
The applicant’s discharge case file is not a matter of record. His
separation document indicated that, on 16 May 1986, he was administratively
discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-10 with an under other than
honorable conditions discharge for misconduct-drug abuse. He was credited
with 9 years, 9 months and 26 days of total active duty service.
In response to the Board’s request, the FBI indicated they were unable to
identify with an arrest record pertaining to the applicant on the basis of
information furnished.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states the applicant did not submit
any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing, and he provided no facts warranting a change to his
change to his character of service. DPPRS opines the discharge was within
the discretion of the discharge authority.
The DPPRS’s evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force Evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for
review and comment on 29 October 2004. On 9 November 2004, the applicant
was invited to submit information pertaining to his post-service
accomplishments. As of this date, this office has received no response
(Exhibit D & E).
_________________________________________________________________
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. The discharge appears to be in
compliance with the governing regulation and we find no evidence to
indicate that his separation from the Air Force was inappropriate. We find
no evidence of error in this case and after thoroughly reviewing the
documentation that has been submitted in support of the applicant’s appeal,
we do not believe he has suffered from an injustice. 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 probable 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.
