RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00683
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served honorably for 18 years, but made lots of bad choices
because of his alcohol addiction. The reason for his discharge
(unsatisfactory performance) is in conflict with his actual
performance as reflected in his Airman Performance Reports
(APR).
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, numerous APRs, and excerpts from his discharge package.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 24 Jan 66 in the grade of airman
basic (E-1) for a period of four years and was progressively
promoted to the grade of staff sergeant (E-5), effective and
with a date of rank of 1 Jun 70.
On 16 Sep 83, the applicants commander notified him of his
intention to recommend his discharge from the Air Force for
irresponsibility in the management of his personal finances and
failure to maintain standards of military deportment. The
reasons for the action included 13 incidents of financial
irresponsibility (e.g. failure to pay just debts and failure to
support his dependents) and two incidents of failure to meet
standards of military deportment (e.g. disregarding instructions
from his supervisor and an order to clean his dormitory room,
and being disorderly in station, for which he received
nonjudicial punishment under Article 15, Uniform Code of
Military Justice (UCMJ)).
On 16 Sep 83, after consulting with legal counsel, the applicant
acknowledged receipt of the action and requested special
consideration for lengthy service probation (LSP). An
administrative discharge board met from 18 through 19 Oct 83 and
ultimately recommended his general discharge for unsatisfactory
performance. The Board further recommended that he not be
offered lengthy service probation.
On 27 Oct 83, the case was found to be legally sufficient and
forwarded to the Secretary of the Air Force. On 15 Feb 84, the
Secretarys designee denied the applicants request for LSP and
directed his approved discharge be executed. On 9 Mar 84, he
was furnished a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge
and credited with 18 years, 1 month, and 16 days of total
active service.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) provided a copy of an Investigative Report,
which is at Exhibit C.
A copy of the FBI Report of Investigation and a request for
post-service information was forwarded to the applicant on
29 Apr 10. In response, the applicant provides an expanded
statement and copies of his APRs, an appointment letter to the
XXXXXXX Redevelopment and Housing Authority Board of
Commissioners, and a character reference (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred in the discharge process. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the applicants General
(Under Honorable Conditions) discharge for Unsatisfactory
Performance was consistent with the substantive requirements of
the discharge regulation and within the discretion of the
discharge 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 compel us to recommend
granting the relief sought on that basis. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis
exists to upgrade the applicants 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.
