RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04150
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
2. His Narrative Reason for Separation be changed.
3. His Separation Code be changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged due to an upcoming Operational Readiness Inspection (ORI)
in his unit. He was not given an opportunity to rectify his behavior.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a personal statement,
character references, certificates and documents extracted from his
military records.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 Jun 86, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air
Force. He served as an Apprentice Electric Power Production Specialist.
On 11 Apr 89, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for failure in alcohol abuse
rehabilitation and minor disciplinary infractions. The specific reasons
for the discharge action were his receiving two Article 15s, two Letters of
Counseling, and a failure from alcohol rehabilitation.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. The applicant
acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge. The applicant after
consulting with legal counsel submitted a statement in his own behalf. The
legal office reviewed the case and recommended discharge with a general
discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
The discharge authority directed a general discharge without probation and
rehabilitation. He was discharged on 26 May 89. He served 2 years, 11
months and 7 days of active service.
________________________________________________________________
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
to include the narrative reason for separation and separation code. Based
on the available 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, narrative reason for separation and the separation code 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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially
add to our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request
for a hearing is not favorably considered.
______________________________________________________________
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.
