IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00931
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She served honorably, and the fact she was overweight did not
impede her ability to serve or to do the job she was trained to
do.
She is proud to have served in the United States Air Force and
would gladly do so again.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 17 Aug 77, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force and
was progressively promoted to the grade of staff sergeant.
She received six (6) Airman Performance Reports (APRs) with
overall ratings of 9, 9, 8, 9, 7, and 6, respectively.
On 12 Apr 83, the applicant was notified by her commander that he
was recommending her discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
paragraph 5-26, for unsatisfactory performance. The reasons for
the proposed action were: 1) On 22 Oct and 23 Nov 82, the
applicant was counseled for being delinquent in the payment of
her Noncommissioned Officer (NCO) Club account; 2) On 22 Dec 82,
the applicant received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for being
delinquent in the payment of her NCO Club account; and 3) On
10 Jan 83, the applicant was counseled for being delinquent in
the payment of her NCO Club account.
The applicant received several disciplinary actions relating to
failure to maintain military weight standards and financial
responsibilities.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification,
and after consulting with counsel, waived her right to submit
statements in her own behalf.
The staff judge advocate (SJA) found the case legally sufficient
to support discharge and noted that despite efforts of
rehabilitation, the applicant failed to conduct herself in a
manner commensurate with acceptable military standards. The SJA
further noted that in determining whether an applicant should be
discharged or retained, the entire military record may be
considered. However, in determining the type of discharge, only
matters in the present enlistment beginning 29 May 81 should be
considered.
On 25 Apr 83, the discharge authority approved the discharge and
directed a general discharge.
On 27 Apr 83, the applicant was discharged and received a general
discharge. She served on active duty for a period of 5 years,
8 months and 11 days.
Pursuant to the request of the Board on 8 Apr 11, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia, indicated on
14 Apr 11, that, on the basis of the data furnished, they were
unable to locate an arrest record.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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, unduly harsh, or
disproportionate to the offenses committed. Having found no
error or injustice with regard to the actions that occurred while
the applicant was a military member, we conclude that no basis
exists to grant favorable action on her request.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
