IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00031
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her under other than honorable discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was discharged for Passive Aggressive Disorder. Her
behavior was erratic and impulsive but that was due to a
chemical imbalance. She has recently been diagnosed as Bi-Polar
with Impulse Control Disorder. She should have been treated for
her illness instead of punished. She has been seeking treatment
for the past 30 years and is finally on medication that is
making her better.
In support of her appeal, the applicant provides a copy of her
psychiatric evaluation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 July 1978.
On 26 February 1979 the applicant was diagnosed with Passive-
Aggressive Personality. Her prognosis for continued military
service was poor and it was recommended she be administratively
separated from the Air Force.
Charges were preferred against the applicant on 13 April 1979
for attempting to procure fraudulent separation, making a false
official statement to laboratory personnel and making a false
official statement to a non-commissioned officer, in violation
of Articles 80, 81, and 107 of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice. On 20 April 1979, through her defense counsel; she
submitted a request for discharge for the good of the service,
in lieu of a court-martial. On 23 April 1979, her commander
recommended her request be approved stating her duty performance
had been below Air Force standards. Her request was approved on
25 April 1979, and she was discharged from the Air Force with an
under other than honorable discharge, under the provisions of
Air Force Manual 39-12, Separation for Unsuitability,
Misconduct, Resignation, or Request for Discharge for the Good
of the Service and Procedures for the Rehabilitation Program.
She was credited with serving 1 year, 1 month and 16 days on
active duty.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia provided a copy of an
investigation report (Exhibit C).
On 14 June 2011, the FBI investigation and a request for post-
service information were forwarded to the applicant for response
within 30 days. 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 during the discharge process. 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 was contrary to the
provisions of the governing regulation, or unduly harsh. We
considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however,
there was no evidence submitted 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 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.
