INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 18 May 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The narrative reason for separation be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is not gay. She was attacked by lesbians and raped by her staff
sergeant.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of her discharge
certificate and a copy of her DD Form 214.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 October 1966.
On 11 and 23 May 1967, Chief, Psychiatric Services evaluated the
applicant and recommended she be discharged under the provisions of
AFM 39-12. Both evaluations revealed the same symptoms of
irritability, depression, dissatisfaction with the Air Force, insomnia
and a desire to get out of the Air Force. She again made a couple of
suicidal gestures and exhibited more unstable reactions to stress. On
27 June 1967, she was notified by her commander he was recommending
she be separated from the Air Force under the provisions of AFM 39-12,
Separation for Unsuitability, Misconduct, Resignation, or Request for
Discharge for the Good of the Service and Procedures for the
Rehabilitation Program (discharge for inaptitude or unsuitability).
The basis for the recommendation was her continuous suicidal gestures
which were diagnosed by the Chief, Psychiatric Services, 814th Medical
Group, Westover AFB, MA as character and behavior disorders. She
acknowledged receipt of the notification and waived her right to
submit statements in her own behalf.
The base legal office reviewed the recommendation, found it legally
sufficient, and recommended separation with an honorable discharge.
The discharge authority concurred with the recommendations and
directed her separation. She was separated on 19 July 1967. She
served 8 months and 23 days on active duty.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, WV, indicated on the basis of 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 and was within the discretion of the discharge
authority. The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any
errors in her discharge processing. Nor did she provide any facts
warranting a change to her narrative reason for separation.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant states she does not agree with the contents of the
evaluation. She does not have evidence, but she does have her memory
and recalls that period of time. She states the service let her down.
She is not asking for anything from the service, and she is not a
lesbian.
Applicant's complete response, with attachment, is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt its rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
