AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00383
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
____________________________________________________________
_____
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be
upgraded to honorable.
____________________________________________________________
_____
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was an outstanding member of the Air Force. He made one
mistake and has paid dearly by losing his retirement and
benefits for himself and his family. His last performance
report reflected he performed with the highest standards,
even though he was punished and knew he was being
discharged. He was not given an opportunity for
rehabilitation or to finish his career with less than two
years left on his enlistment.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
documents extracted from his military personnel records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
____________________________________________________________
_____
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate the
applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular
Air Force on 10 Aug 71 as a prior service enlistee.
On 18 Jun 86, the applicants commander notified him that he
was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for drug
abuse. The specific reason for the discharge action was his
receipt of an Article 15 on 30 May 86 for wrongful use of
marijuana.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. On
20 Jun 86, he acknowledged receipt of the notification of
discharge and, after consulting with legal counsel,
submitted a conditional waiver contingent upon receipt of a
general discharge.
On 22 Jul 86, the legal office reviewed the case and found
it legally sufficient to support separation, and recommended
the discharge authority accept the conditional waiver and
discharge the applicant with a general discharge.
On 11 Aug 86, the discharge authority directed the applicant
be furnished a general discharge without probation and
rehabilitation.
He was discharged on 20 Oct 86. He was credited with 18
years, 2 months, and 10 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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error
or injustice that occurred in the discharge process. Based
on the available evidence of record, it appears the
applicants General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge
for misconduct was consistent with the substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and within the
discharge authoritys discretion. He has provided no
evidence which would lead us to believe his General (Under
Honorable Conditions) discharge was improper or contrary to
the provisions of the governing directive. We considered
upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, because
of the lack of any evidence related to the applicants
activities since leaving the service, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought on that basis.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we
conclude that no basis exists to upgrade the applicants
General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge.

_____
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.
