_________________________________________________________________

His under honorable conditions (general) discharge be upgraded to an
honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________

Applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 5 Feb 86 for a period of
four years.
On 7 Apr 87, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for minor disciplinary
infractions and drug abuse. The specific reasons for the discharge action
were:
a. On 9 Jun 86, the applicant received an Article 15 with an
Unfavorable Information File (UIF) for wrongfully possessing alcoholic
beverages in the dormitory. His punishment consisted of forfeiture of pay
and correctional custody.
b. On 22 Sep 86, the applicant received a Letter of Counseling
(LOC) for failing to report at the prescribed time to a military doctor and
his appointed place of duty
c. On 9 Oct 86, the applicant received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR)
for a traffic violation (speeding) on or about 26 Sep 86.
d. On 10 Oct 86, the applicant received an LOR for a traffic
violation (speeding) on or about 10 Oct 86.
e. On 15 Oct 86, the applicant received an LOC for failing to go
at the time prescribed to commander’s call.
f. On 19 Nov 86, the applicant received an LOC for failing to go a
scheduled dental appointment.
g. On 18 Nov 86, the applicant received an LOC for failing to go
at the prescribed time to his appointed place of duty.
h. On 28 Jan 87, the applicant received an LOC for failing to go
at the prescribed time to his appointed place of duty.
i. On 20 Mar 87, the applicant received an LOR for testing
positive for marijuana.
j. On 27 Mar 87, the applicant received an LOR for wrongful use of
cocaine.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge and
after consulting with legal counsel submitted a conditional waiver of his
rights associated with an administrative discharge hearing contingent upon
receiving no less than an general (under honorable conditions) discharge.
On 21 Apr 87, a legal review was conducted in which the staff judge
advocate recommended the applicant’s conditional waiver be accepted and he
be discharged with a general discharge.
On 24 Apr 87, the discharge authority directed discharge with a general
discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
The applicant was discharged on 28 Apr 87. He served a total of 1 year, 2
months and 24 days on active duty.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
provided a copy of an Investigative Report, which is at Exhibit C. On 22
Jan 08, a copy of the FBI report was forwarded to the applicant for review
and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received
by this office (Exhibit D).
On 22 Jan 08, a request for information pertaining to his post-service
activities was forwarded to the applicant for response within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office (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 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. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
