RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03185
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His recruiter promised him he would be able to attend college
when he was not on duty. However, his job left little time to
attend college courses.
He had a severe personality conflict with his supervisor.
Although he made scheduling allowances for others attending
college courses, it appeared he made a point of not allowing him
any time to attend.
He allowed his age and immaturity to affect his military
bearing.
It has been 27 years since his discharge and not a day goes by
that he does not think about how his time in the service would
have been different had he been more mature, able to attend
college, and had a better relationship with his supervisor. He
is confident he would have served his entire enlistment or more.
He has been married for 20 years, and has two daughters. He has
been employed by the same company for the past 15 years and is
currently attending college in the evenings and will earn his
bachelors degree next year.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
personal statements, a letter of support, and a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 4 Sep 81.
Records reveal the applicant was notified of pending discharge
action on 9 Aug 83. Specifically, the commander cited minor
disciplinary infractions as the basis for discharge.
The applicants misconduct included a Letter of Counseling, two
Records of Individual Counseling, four Letters of Reprimand, and
two Article 15s, Record of Nonjudicial Punishment, for multiple
instances of reporting late for duty, failure to obey a lawful
order, failing to be in his patrol zone, and failing to conduct
building checks.
On 16 Aug 83, the staff judge advocate found the case legally
sufficient and recommended discharge with a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge without probation and
rehabilitation. On 23 Aug 83, the discharge authority concurred
and directed discharge. The applicant was discharged on
2 Sep 83 with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge.
He was credited with 1 year, 11 months, and 29 days of active
service.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigations (FBI) provided an investigative report
(Exhibit C). A copy of the report and a request for post-
service information was forwarded to the applicant on 10 Nov 10
for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
In response to the Boards request, a character letter was
provided on behalf of the applicant.
The applicants complete response it at 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 an injustice. We find
no impropriety in the characterization of applicant's discharge.
It appears that responsible officials applied appropriate
standards in effecting the separation, and we do not find
persuasive evidence that pertinent regulations were violated or
the applicant was not afforded all the rights to which he was
entitled at the time of discharge. Further, we do not find the
limited post-service evidence sufficient to warrant granting the
requested relief based on clemency. Therefore, in view of the
above, and absent evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the requested relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
