RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00566 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His discharge was based on a one-time isolated incident in 
48 months of service with no other adverse action. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 3 Feb 83, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. He was progressively promoted to the grade of 
sergeant having assumed the grade effective and with a date of 
rank of 19 Jul 85. 

 

On 13 Mar 87, the applicant was charged with wrongfully 
possessing and using methamphetamine on or about 6 Aug 86. The 
charges were referred on 25 Mar 87. 

 

On 18 Mar 87, the applicant through counsel submitted a request 
for discharge in lieu of trial by court-martial. 

 

On 23 Mar 87, his commander recommended the request for discharge 
be approved and that he be discharged with an UOTHC discharge. 

 

Legal reviews were conducted and recommended the request for 
discharge be approved; and, the applicant receive a UOTHC 
discharge. 

 


On 22 Apr 87, the discharge authority directed a UOTHC discharge. 

 

He was discharged on 7 May 87. He served four years, three 
months and five days of active service. 

 

On 17 Jun 10, the Board staff requested the applicant provide 
documentation concerning his activities since leaving military 
service. 

 

In response to the request for post service documentation the 
applicant provides a narrative of his activities since leaving 
the military service and three character references. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. Even though 
the applicant has provided no evidence to show that his discharge 
was improper or not in compliance with appropriate directives, it 
is our opinion that approval on the basis of clemency is 
warranted in this case. It appears the applicant has led a 
stable and productive life and it appears there is no evidence 
that he has had any subsequent involvement of a derogatory nature 
since his separation from the Air Force. In light of the above, 
we believe that it would be an injustice for him to continue to 
suffer the adverse effects of a UOTHC discharge. Therefore we 
believe an upgrade of his discharge to general (under honorable 
conditions) is warranted. Accordingly the Board recommends that 
his records be corrected as indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 7 May 1987, he 
was discharged with service characterized as general (under 
honorable conditions).

In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to upgrade the applicant’s UOTHC discharge.
