RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00313 

 INDEX CODE: A94.39/40 

 XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge be upgraded 
to Honorable. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He has been a productive self-employed business person and has 
had no trouble with the law. He was guilty of failing a 
urinalysis test. He has not had this addiction in 25 years and 
would like closure on this issue. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s available military personnel records indicate he 
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 15 Jun 82 and was 
progressively promoted to the grade of airman first class (E-3), 
effective and with a date of rank of 15 Jun 83. 

 

On 16 Sep 85, the applicant’s commander notified him of his 
intent to recommend him for discharge from the Air Force for 
drug abuse. The applicant subsequently acknowledged receipt of 
the action, consulted with legal counsel, and waived his right 
to submit statements on his behalf. 

 

On 2 Oct 85, the case was found to be legally sufficient and the 
discharge authority approved the applicant’s discharge the same 
day. On 7 Oct 85, the applicant was furnished a General (Under 
Honorable Conditions) discharge and was credited with 3 years, 
3 months, and 23 days of total active service. 

 

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI) provided a response indicating they were 
unable to locate an arrest record based on the information 
furnished. 


A request for post-service information was forwarded to 
applicant on 19 May 10. As of this date, no response has been 
received by this office (Exhibit C). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an 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. Based on the available evidence of record, it 
appears the applicant’s General (Under Honorable Conditions) 
discharge was consistent with the substantive requirements of 
the discharge regulation and within the commander’s 
discretionary authority. He has provided no evidence which 
would lead us to believe otherwise. We considered upgrading the 
discharge based on clemency; however, we do not find the 
evidence presented is sufficient to convince us to recommend 
granting the relief sought on that basis. In view of the 
foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we 
conclude that no basis exists for us to recommend an upgrade to 
the applicant’s General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
