IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03287
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He is on a self-improvement campaign and wishes to correct or
make amends for previously wasting his life away. He is 63 years
old and has become a registered voter. He would like to attend
college in the fall. If his discharge is upgraded, the state of
Florida will issue him a high school diploma and then allow him
to attend college.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer
or Discharge, and a copy of a letter from the Florida Department
of Education.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 22 Jun 67.
The applicant was notified by his commander that he was
recommending him for discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFM 39-12, paragraph 2-15a, Section B, Chapter 2,
for unfitness. The specific reasons for this action were for
wrongfully loitering on post; for wrongfully having possessed a
trace of marijuana, for failing to go at the time prescribed to
his appointed place of duty, and for being absent without
authority. The applicant received a general discharge on 8 May
70, after serving 2 years, 10 months, and 13 days on active duty.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia, was unable to identify
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 probable error or injustice. After
careful consideration of the available evidence, we found no
indication the actions taken to effect the applicants discharge
were improper or contrary to the provisions of the governing
regulations in effect at the time, or the actions taken against
the applicant were based on factors other than his own
misconduct. We considered upgrading the discharge based on
clemency; however, we do not find the evidence presented is
sufficient 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.
