RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00795
COUNSEL:
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. The narrative reason for separation and separation authority be
changed to reflect his honorable discharge.
2. His entitlement to all service ribbons and badges be reinstated.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His wife disappeared and he went to search for her and upon return he
was discharged without any assistance or counseling.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his DD
Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge and documents extracted from his military personnel records.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 9 Nov 72, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular
Air Force.
On 9 Aug 73, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for unsuitability
(character and behavior disorder). The specific reason for the
discharge action was the applicant underwent a psychiatric evaluation
and was diagnosed with a character behavior disorder.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. The applicant
acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge and waived his
right to submit statements in his own behalf. The legal office
reviewed the case and found it legally sufficient to support
separation and recommended discharge with an honorable discharge
without probation and rehabilitation.
On 9 Aug 73, the discharge authority directed discharge with an
honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation. He was
discharged on 10 Aug 72.
On 5 Oct 10, AFPC/DPSIDR informed the applicant his request for
entitlement to awards and decorations had been administratively
resolved. His entitlement to the National Defense Service Medal had
been verified and his DD Form 214 accurately reflects such.
Unfortunately, his entitlement to any additional awards could not be
verified.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of the applicant’s request to change his
narrative reason for separation. DPSOS notes based on the
documentation in the applicant’s master personnel record, the
discharge, to include the narrative reason and separation authority,
was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge manual and was within the discretion of the discharge
authority. Furthermore, the applicant did not submit any evidence or
identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge
processing. He has not provided any facts to warrant the requested
relief.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
29 Dec 10 for review and comments within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 warranting a change of the
narrative reason for separation. 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. After a review of the evidence of record, we
find no evidence showing the narrative reason for separation was
erroneous or unjust. Based on the available evidence of record, it
appears the discharge, to include the reason for separation, 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 service and narrative reason for separation was
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation, unduly harsh,
or disproportionate to circumstances of his discharge. 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.
