APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her bad conduct  discharge  be  upgraded  to  a  general  (under  honorable
conditions) discharge.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was advised during her court martial that she would receive  a  general
under other than honorable conditions discharge; however, she did not.   In
addition, she never signed her DD  Form  214,  Certificate  of  Release  or
Discharge from Active Duty and was unaware  she  was  discharged  from  the
United States Air Force (USAF).

In support of the appeal, the applicant submits a copy of her DD Form 214.

The complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the USAF on 20 January 1988 in the  grade  of  airman
basic.  On 29 September 1989 the applicant was convicted  by  court-martial
and received a bad conduct discharge.  The specific reasons for this action
were on 14 February 1989 she was found guility of  violating  Article  121,
Larceny and wrongful appropriation and Article 123, Forgery.  Specifically,
the applicant stole a checkbook from another airman and forged the airman’s
name on three checks totaling $160.00.   She also forged another  check  in
the amount of $100.00 at the Federal Credit Union.  In addition to the  bad
conduct discharge, she was sentenced to confinement for two months, ordered
to forfeit $400.00 of her pay per month for two months and reduced  to  the
grade of airman basic.


She served a total of 1 year, 8 months and 10 days on active duty.

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the FBI indicated that on the basis on the
data furnished, they were unable to locate an arrest record.  (Exhibit C).

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial.  DPPRS states the  discharge  was  consistent
with  the  procedural  and  substantive  requirements  of   the   discharge
regulation.  In addition, the discharge was within the sound discretion  of
the discharge authority.  She did not submit any new evidence  or  identify
any errors or injustices that occurred in  her  discharge  processing  that
would warrant an upgrade of her bad conduct discharge.

The complete DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded  to  the  applicant  on  3
November 2006 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this
office has received no response (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 characterization of  her
service  was  improper,  contrary  to  the  provisions  of   the   governing
regulations in effect at the time, or based on factors other  than  her  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.
