discharge be upgraded to honorable and if that is not possible, the

changed. His second request, which was a request for the Korean Defense
Service Medal, has been administratively corrected.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The applicant was unable to provided supporting documentation. He stated
it has been over 15 years and most, if not all pertaining documentation has
been lost with the exception of his DD Form 214.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force 14 Oct 1976. At the time
of discharge notification, the member had 12 years, 7 months, and 13 days
total active military service. The applicant submitted a conditional
waiver requesting nothing less than a general discharge. His request was
accepted and he was discharged 26 May 1989 with a general discharge for
misconduct--pattern of discreditable involvement with military or civilian
authorities. The applicant’s misconduct leading up to discharge included:
a. Three instances of returned checks for insufficient funds.
b. Failure to report to work in the prescribed uniform.
c. Failure to follow prescribed procedures for assigning billeting
assignments.
d. Dereliction of duty and maltreatment of an airman subject to his
orders.
Previous enlistment misconduct included:
a. Counseling for being returned to Food Service from Billeting
because of unsatisfactory duty performance.
b. Prior unsatisfactory duty performance in Food Service.
c. An Article 15 for wrongfully throwing a full beer bottle across
the room of the Scandal Club and resisted being lawfully
apprehended.
d. An Article 15 for willfully damaging a fire extinguisher by
throwing it down a hallway and willfully damaging an emergency
light by pulling the emergency light assembly out of its socket.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the FBI provided a copy of an
Investigative Report, Number 4984398, which is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
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 evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred
in the discharge processing. He provided no facts warranting an upgrade of
his under honorable conditions (general) discharge.
The AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation, with attachments is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 13
October 2006 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of the
applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we have seen no
evidence indicating that the former member was improperly discharged or
that an upgrade of his service characterization and a change in his
reenlistment code is warranted. Accordingly, the applicant’s request is
not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
