RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02157
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation of misconduct (Minor
Infractions) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation is unjust due to his command
requiring him to attend an intensive outpatient program for
alcohol dependence. During his fourth week of attendance, his
commander told him that he was being discharged under honorable
conditions and he would receive all military benefits.
Therefore, he chose that option since he was severely battling
alcoholism. During his enlistment, he worked hard and never
intended to leave the military; however, he was struggling
through this disease and his command was forcing him out. Since
being separated, he has maintained sobriety, but is not able to
get a job, go to school, find a home, or support himself because
the promises made to him have been denied. Had he realized the
affect of not completing the program, he would have completed it
and fought to stay in the military.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 10 Nov 08.
His commander notified the applicant that he was recommending him
for discharge from the Air Force under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, paragraph
5.49. The specific reasons for this action were for being
observed taking in what appeared to be crushed prescription
medication through his nose; for bragging about engaging in
illegal drug use prior to entering the Air Force and engaging in
activities that were prejudicial to good order and discipline;
for having an overnight guest in his dormitory room; for being
derelict in the performance of duties assigned on several
occasions; for failing to go to his appointed place of duty at
the prescribed time; for wrongfully using provoking words; for
assault; and for being drunk and disorderly. The applicant
received a general discharge on 18 Feb 11 after serving 2 years,
3 months, and 9 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that based on the
applicants overall performance, the discharge authority approved
a general discharge. Based on the applicants progressive
disciplinary actions, he was never able to succeed in changing
his substandard performance. The applicant did not provide any
evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the processing
of his discharge and his narrative reason for separation was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge instruction and was within the discharge
authoritys discretion.
The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 16 Sep 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
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 agree with the opinion and recommendation
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, 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.
