MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 11 MARCH 2009
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Since his discharge, he has been a model and tax paying citizen. He has
been a machinist for the last 23 years and has been with the same company
as a milling machine supervisor the last 13 years. He made some mistakes
when he was young but he was a good airman who served his country.
In support of his request, applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 30
September 1981. He was progressively promoted to the grade of airman first
class (E-3), having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of
30 September 1982.
On 28 November 1982, the applicant was charged with assault of an airman by
taking a swing at him. For this incident, punishment under Article 15,
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), was imposed. He received a
suspended reduction to airman (E-2) until 15 June 1983 and was ordered to
forfeit $50.00 pay per month for one month.
On 2 June 1983, the applicant failed to properly maintain his dormitory
room. For this incident, he received a letter of reprimand (LOR).
Between 14 April 1983 and 24 May 1983, he wrongfully used marijuana. For
this incident, punishment under Article 15, UCMJ was imposed. His
suspended reduction was vacated, and he was ordered to forfeit $150.00 pay
and perform 14 days extra duty.
On 13 June 1983, the applicant failed to report for duty. For this
incident, he received an LOR.
On 21 June 1983, the applicant was notified by his commander of his intent
to discharge him for a pattern of misconduct. He was advised of his rights
in this matter and acknowledged receipt on that same date. Applicant
elected to submit statements in his behalf. In a legal review of the
discharge case file, the staff judge advocate found it legally sufficient
and recommended he be discharged from the Air Force with a general
discharge. On 25 July 1983, the discharge authority directed he be
discharged with a general discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
Applicant was credited with 1 year, 9 months and 28 days of active service.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the FBI provided a copy of an
Investigative Report, No. 58130W9, which is at Exhibit C. On 2 October
2007, a copy of the FBI report was forwarded to the applicant for review
and comment within 14 days, as of this date, no response has been received
by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 find no
evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the discharge
processing. Based on the available evidence of record, it appears the
discharge was consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the commander’s discretionary authority. The
applicant has provided no evidence which would lead us to believe the
characterization of the service was contrary to the provisions of the
governing regulation, unduly harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses
committed. We considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency;
however, we do not find the evidence presented is sufficient to compel us
to recommend granting the relief sought on that basis. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to
recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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 and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
