AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-03532
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The applicant makes no contentions.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of a DD Form 293
(Application for the Review of Discharge from the Armed Forces of the
United States).
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 10 March 1982 and served for
a period of 2 years, 3 months and 27 days.
On 25 May 1984 and 5 June 1984, he was charged with being drunk on station
and received an Article 15 for each occurrence.
On 18 June 1984, his commander recommended him for an honorable discharge
for minor disciplinary infractions.
On 29 June 1984, the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) concurred with the
commander's recommendation for discharge; however, the SJA did not concur
with discharging the applicant with an honorable discharge saying the
misconduct was other than honorable. The SJA recommended a general
discharge.
On 2 July 1984, the discharge authority directed his discharge with service
characterization as general.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, West Virginia, was unable to identify an arrest record on the
basis of information furnished.
_________________________________________________________________
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 probable error or injustice. After careful consideration of
the applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we see no
evidence of an error or injustice that would warrant corrective action.
Therefore, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force
offices of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error
or injustice. The only other basis upon which to upgrade his discharge
would be based on clemency. However, applicant has failed to provide
documentation pertaining to his pertaining to his post-service activities
we would be willing to reconsider his appeal. In the absence of such
evidence, favorable action is not recommended.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
