COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC)
discharge be upgraded to a general (under honorable conditions)
or a medical discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA) determined he was
suffering from anxiety disorder at the time of his discharge.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement and DVA documentation.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
entered active duty on 19 October 2004 and was promoted to the
grade of airman first class (E-3).
The applicant received one Letter of Counseling, four Letters of
Reprimand, and one Article 15 between 27 October 2005 and
19 March 2007.
On 21 May 2007, the applicant was notified that his commander was
recommending him for a general (under honorable conditions)
discharge for Misconduct: Pattern of Misconduct, Conduct
Prejudicial to Good Order and Discipline under the authority of
Air Force Program Directive 36-32 and Air Force Instruction 3208,
paragraph 5.50.2. The applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification, consulted counsel, and submitted statements in his
own behalf. On 6 June 2007, the Staff Judge Advocate found the
case to be legally sufficient and recommended the applicant be
separated with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge
without probation and rehabilitation.
On 6 June 2007, the discharge authority approved the recommended
discharge and directed the applicant be discharged with a general
(under honorable conditions) discharge.
On 8 June 2007, the applicant was released from active duty after
serving 3 years, 5 months, and 19 days on active duty.
On 10 March 2010, the Discharge Review Board (DRB) considered and
denied the applicants request to upgrade his characterization of
discharge to honorable.
On 8 October 2010, SAF/MRBR, notified the applicant that attempts
to obtain his service medical records were unsuccessful and
requested his assistance in obtaining them. To date, the
applicant has not responded.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We note the evidence of
record indicates the discharge authority directed the applicant
receive a general (under honorable conditions) discharge;
however, Block 24 of the applicants DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflects a General (Under
Other Than Honorable) discharge. We believe this entry to be in
error. While the applicant has not provided sufficient evidence
to warrant our granting his alternate request of a medical
discharge, we believe his DD Form 214 should be corrected to
reflect the characterization of service directed by the discharge
authority, general (under honorable conditions). Therefore, we
recommend his record 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 8 June 2007,
he was discharged with service characterized as general (under
honorable conditions).
