HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
an honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is a hard working, productive member of the community and a
respectable citizen. She has been married for over 27 years and
has two grown children.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 Jul 77, the applicant contracted her enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 21 Nov 83, the applicants commander notified her that she was
recommending her discharge from the Air Force for drug abuse.
The specific reason for the discharge action was the applicant
received an Article 15 for wrongful possession and use of
marijuana.
She was advised of her rights and, after consulting with legal
counsel, submitted a conditional waiver contingent upon receipt
of a general discharge.
The legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient and recommended approval of the applicants request
for a conditional waiver.
On 17 Feb 84, the discharge authority accepted the applicants
conditional waiver and directed her discharge with a general
(under honorable conditions) character of service, without
probation and rehabilitation. She was discharged on 24 Feb 84.
She served six years, seven months, and four days of active
service.
On 31 Jan 11, the Board staff requested the applicant provide
documentation concerning her activities since leaving military
service (Exhibit C).
In response, the applicant states she has worked as a pharmacy
clerk, has over 25 years of experience, and received her pharmacy
technician license. She was voted employee of the year for
Kaiser Permanente Hospital/Pharmacy of Southern California. She
has no criminal record nor has she ever been incarcerated.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
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 applicant's complete submission, to include her
rebuttal, 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 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 the service was
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation, unduly
harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses committed. 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 find no basis upon
which to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
