RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01233
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She served her country with a stellar military record. Her
Airman Performance Reports always exceeded the job expectations.
She conducted herself with the utmost respect while serving in
the Honor/Color Guard. She was selected and highly recommended
for two special duty assignments and was awarded the Meritorious
Service Medal for her dedication to duty. She does not believe
that her lapse in judgment warranted such a severe punishment.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of her
appeal.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served as a Health Services Management Support Supervisor and was
progressively promoted to the grade of technical sergeant (E-6).
On 8 October 1992, the applicant was notified that her commander
preferred charges against her for forging two sets of Permanent
Change of Station (PCS) orders for another airman and herself to
obtain early releases from their term leases with a local
landlord. On or about 8-23 October 1992, the applicant consulted
with her defense counsel and subsequently submitted a request for
discharge in lieu of trial by court-martial under the provisions
of Air Force Regulation 39-10, Chapter 4. Both of her commanders
recommended the applicants request be approved, citing the fact
that it was quite likely that the case would not result in a
punitive discharge and that acceptance of a Chapter 4 discharge
would be in the best interest of the Air Force. Both commanders
recommended the approved discharge be characterized as general
(under honorable conditions). On 27 November 1992, the Staff
Judge Advocate recommended approval of the applicants request.
On 28 November 1992, the discharge authority approved the
applicants request for discharge in lieu of court-martial and
directed she be discharged with a general (under honorable
conditions) discharge.
On 4 December 1992, the applicant was discharged from active duty
with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge. She
served 14 years, 7 months, and 8 days on active duty.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the FBI indicated that on the
basis of the data furnished, they were unable to locate an arrest
record pertaining to the applicant.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Furthermore, we do
not find clemency is appropriate in this case since the applicant
has not provided any evidence concerning her post-service
activities. Based on the foregoing, 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.

In support of her appeal, the applicant provides copies of her discharge file. The military judge determined that her guilty plea was voluntary and that she had wrongfully used cocaine.
