IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-1993-06327
      INDEX CODE:  110.00
      COUNSEL:  NONE
      HEARING DESIRED:  NO
________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His under other than honorable conditions discharge (UOTHC) be  upgraded  to
honorable.

________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

The applicant submitted a similar request dated 12 Oct  93.   On  24 Nov  94
and 15 Mar 95, the  Board  denied  the  applicant’s  request  based  on  the
information contained in the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB)  brief
and absent persuasive evidence that he was denied rights  to  which  he  was
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,   or   appropriate
standards were not applied (Exhibit F).

In his  latest  application,  dated  5  Feb  10,  the  applicant  states  he
performed honorably and meritoriously during his  entire  military  service.
He entered military service as  a  college  graduate  and  was  selected  as
Airman of the Month and  Airman  of  the  Quarter.   He  received  excellent
annual performance reviews throughout his enlisted time.   He  was  selected
in the Medical Service Corps (Reserves) and commissioned as a 2nd Lt in  Apr
79.  He was eventually promoted to Capt before his discharge in 1984.

In Nov 82, he and three others entered in  an  after-hours  venture  selling
gas additives  which  was  authorized  by  his  clinic  commander  and  base
Personal  Affairs  Office.   An  investigation  was  conducted  and  it  was
determined the actions were legal; however, he was asked to discontinue  the
operation.  He declined to stop because he was too financially  invested  in
the venture.

Soon after, he was investigated and several charges were made  against  him.
His counsel stated he could not be of much help but recommended he take  his
case to trial.  After six months of not being able to take  leave  or  visit
his family, he requested an honorable discharge but  was  offered  an  UOTHC
discharge.

He takes full responsibility for his immaturity and bad judgment  decisions;
however, he feels an UOTHC discharge was not warranted.  He conduct was  not
willful  and  persistent.   He  received  an  honorable  discharge  for  his
enlisted time and would like his entire service time  to  be  considered  as
honorable.

In support  of  his  reconsideration  request,  the  applicant  submits  his
statement and copies of documents from his initial application.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit G.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After careful review of the  applicant’s  reconsideration  request  and  the
documentation submitted in support of his appeal, we are not  persuaded  the
Board's original decision should be  overturned.   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  this
basis.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,  we  find  no
basis upon which to recommend granting  the  relief  sought.   Nevertheless,
should the applicant provide more recent post-service information, we  would
be willing to reconsider his appeal.

________________________________________________________________

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.
