AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1985-00820
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 MAY 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to honorable
and narrative reason for separation be removed except for “voluntary
resignation.”
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His service record was excellent. He received the Air Force Commendation
Medal and he was selected for junior officer of the month three times while
stationed at the Air University. He was also selected to be the Assistant
Debate Coach at the Air Force Academy and taught four sections of English.
In support of his request, applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214 and
copies of his Officer Effectiveness Reports for the period beginning 15
July 1979 and ending 16 April 1983.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 12 May 1979, the applicant was appointed a second lieutenant Reserve of
the Air Force and was voluntarily ordered to extended active duty. He
served as an Air Force Academy Instructor of English.
On 11 February 1983, his commander initiated involuntary separation action
against the applicant because investigation revealed that he intentionally
misrepresented his educational qualification to wit: that he was awarded a
Ph.D. which he submitted as part of his official record. On 15 February
1983, after consulting with legal counsel, and in lieu of further action,
the applicant tendered his resignation as soon as possible. The Secretary
of the Air Force accepted his resignation and the applicant was discharged
with a general discharge on 22 April 1983. He served 3 years, 9 months and
8 days on active duty.
On 30 January 1985, the Air Force Discharge Review Board reviewed and
denied the applicant’s request that his discharge be upgraded to honorable
and the reason for discharge be changed.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
Clarksburg, WV, indicated that on the basis of the data furnished, they
were unable to locate an arrest record (See Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states that based upon the
documentation in the file, the discharge was consistent with the procedural
and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. DPPRS further
states that the applicant has not provided any new evidence or identified
any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.
The DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was sent to the applicant on 26 January
2007 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 error or injustice. After careful consideration of the
applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, to include the
Air Force Discharge Review Board action, we see no evidence which would
warrant an upgrade of his characterization of service or change the reason
for discharge. Other than his own assertions, the applicant has provided
no evidence which would lead us to believe the information in his discharge
case file is erroneous, that his substantial rights were violated, or that
his commanders abused their discretionary authority. In view of the above
and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis on which
to favorably consider his request.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
