AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01797
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be corrected to reflect
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was young, immature and needed direction. He is older and understands
how his transgressions affected his opportunity to serve in the Armed
Forces.
The evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on 9 Aug
85 for a term of four years. On 17 Dec 86, he was notified by his
commander that he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force for
a pattern of misconduct consisting solely of minor disciplinary
infractions. The Commander cited the applicant’s numerous Letters of
Counseling, Letters of Admonishment, Letters of Reprimand, and nonjudicial
punishment under Article 15, Uniformed Code of Military Justice.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge and
after consulting with legal counsel waived his right to an administrative
discharge board and to submit statements in his own behalf. The base legal
office reviewed the case and found it legally sufficient to support the
discharge. The discharge authority approved the separation and directed he
be discharged with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge.
On 31 Dec 86, he was separated, under the provisions of AFR 39-10,
Administrative Separation of Airmen, for Misconduct-Pattern of Minor
Disciplinary Infractions. He completed a total of 1 year, 3 months and 22
days of active service.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
Clarksburg, WV, provided a copy of an Investigation Report, which is at
Exhibit C.
On 2 Nov 10, a copy of the FBI report was provided to the applicant for
review and comment within 30 days. He was also notified of his right to
submit post-service documentation to support his request. As of this date,
no response has been received by this office (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 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
applicant’s general (under honorable conditions) discharge was consistent
with the substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and within
the commander’s discretionary authority. He has provided no evidence which
would lead us to believe the characterization of his service was improper
or contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation. We considered
upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, we are not inclined to
recommend upgrading his discharge based on clemency at this time. In view
of the foregoing, and in the absence of sufficient evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the 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.
