RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02403
INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be
upgraded to honorable.
2. His narrative reason for separation of Misconduct Drug
Abuse be changed to Misconduct.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told that after six months he could request his records
be changed to reflect an honorable discharge and drug abuse
would be dropped from his narrative reason for separation.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 3 Sep 91.
Records reveal that on 7 Sep 93, the applicant was notified of
pending discharge action. Specifically, the commander cited
drug abuse as the basis for discharge. An investigation by the
Office of Special Investigation (OSI) revealed the applicant
wrongfully used Butane as an inhalant to alter his mood and to
obtain an intoxicating effect between 1 Jun 92 and 31 Oct 92.
The report also revealed the applicant admitted to taking Medi-
Flu (a decongestant) while drinking alcohol in order to keep a
constant buzz and not get drunk and pass out.
The applicant was discharged on 19 May 93. He is credited with
1 year, 8 months, and 17 days of active service.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigations (FBI) states they were unable to identify an
arrest record on the basis of the information furnished.
On 8 Sep 10, a request for post-service information was
forwarded to the applicant for a response within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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
that occurred in the discharge processing. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was
consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the commander's discretionary authority.
The applicant has provided no evidence which would lead us to
believe the characterization of his service and narrative reason
for separation were contrary to the provisions of the governing
regulation, unduly harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses
committed. Further, clemency was not considered due to the
applicants failure to provide the requested post-service
information outlined in the Information Bulletin. Therefore, in
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon
which to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
