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 applicants 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).
