            INDEX CODE:  110.02
      XXXXXXX                     COUNSEL:  NONE

                                  HEARING DESIRED:  NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  20 OCT 2007

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from  Active  Duty,  be
corrected to show he was honorably discharged.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Allegations of drug  abuse  are  false.   He  states  his  records  show  no
evidence or reference to such abuse.

In support of the application,  the  applicant  submits  excerpts  from  his
medical records.

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 26 Jun 84  in  the  grade  of  airman
basic.  On 24 Jun  86,  he  was  notified  by  his  commander  that  he  was
recommending he be discharged from the Air Force  under  the  provisions  of
AFR 39-10, Administrative Separation of Airman for misconduct (drug  abuse).
 The specific reason for this action was on 17 Jun 86, he received a  Letter
of Reprimand for testing positive  for  cocaine.   He  was  advised  of  his
rights in this matter.  On  24  Jun  86,  he  acknowledged  receipt  of  the
notification, consulted counsel, and elected not  to  submit  statements  on
his own behalf.  In a legal review of his case the base legal  office  found
it legally sufficient and recommended a general discharge.  On 3 Jul 86,  he
was discharged from the Air Force for misconduct  in  the  grade  of  airman
first class.  He served 2 years and 7 days on active duty.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  DPPRS states 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 evidence or identify any errors  or  injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing.

The complete DPPRS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant responded and states he believes the medical evidence he  provided
identifies errors in the discharge process.  He  states  urinalysis  results
are not in his medical records and should  be.   He  believes  the  advisory
from DPPRS is petty and retaliatory and has no bearing on his case.

His complete response is at Exhibit 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.   After  careful  consideration  of  the
available evidence, we found no indication that the actions taken to  affect
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.   Therefore,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of  the  Air  Force  office  of
primary responsibility  and  adopt  its  rationale  as  the  basis  for  our
conclusion that the applicant has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
