STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 25 Nov 74.
His commander recommended him for discharge under the provisions
of AFM39-12, Chapter 2, Section B, Paragraph 2-15a and Section C,
Paragraph 2-23, for frequent involvement of a discreditable
nature with civil and military authorities, and for receiving a
civil court conviction. Following receipt of notification from
his commander, the applicant waived his right to a hearing before
an Administrative Discharge Board conditioned upon receipt of a
general discharge; however, the waiver was denied. Thereafter,
he exercised his right to a hearing before a discharge board.
After a legal review of the case file, the deputy staff judge
advocate approved the findings of the discharge board. The
applicants commander approved the recommendation of the
discharge board on 26 Nov 80. The applicant received a UOTHC
discharge on 8 Dec 80 after serving 6 years and 14 days on active
duty.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) provided a copy of an Investigative Report,
which is at Exhibit C. On 22 Dec 10, a copy of the FBI report
was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office.
On 22 Dec 10, a request for information pertaining to his post-
service activities was forwarded to the applicant for response
within 30 days. In response to our request, applicant provided
post-service information, which is attached at Exhibit A.
On 31 Jan 11, the applicant requested to temporarily close his
case. On 13 Mar 11, he requested his case be reopened and the
original 64 pages of information submitted of his activities
since leaving the Air Force be considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After careful
consideration of the available evidence, we found no indication
the actions taken to affect his discharge were improper or
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulations in effect
at the time, or the actions taken against the applicant were
based on factors other than his own misconduct. We considered
upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, we do not
find the evidence presented is sufficient to recommend granting
the relief sought on that basis. Having found no error or
injustice with regard to the actions while the applicant was a
military member, we conclude that no basis exists to grant
favorable action on his request.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
