_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 16 Nov 81, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force. He served as an Aerospace Control and Warning
Systems Operator.
On 7 Jun 82, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for unsuitability.
The specific reasons for the discharge action were that he
received two Article 15s for failure to go and stealing, a letter
of Reprimand (LOR) regarding his conduct at the base club and
dormitory, placement on the control roster for conduct that was
incompatible with Air Force standards, and counselings for
failure to report and his personal appearance.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter and on
7 Jun 82, he acknowledged receipt of the notification for
discharge.
On 7 Jun 82, an evaluation officer was appointed to evaluate the
applicants case. On 8 Jun 82, the evaluation officer interviewed
the applicant and reviewed his records and case file. The
evaluation officer recommended on 14 Jun 82 the applicant be
separated with a general discharge without probation and
rehabilitation.
The legal office reviewed the case and concurs with the findings
and recommendations of the evaluation officer that the applicant
be furnished a general discharge without probation and
rehabilitation.
On 23 Jun 82, the discharge authority concurred with the
commanders recommendation and directed the applicant be
furnished a general (under honorable conditions) discharge
without probation and rehabilitation.
On 25 Jun 82, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge and he was credited with
7 months, and 10 days of active service.
The applicant appealed to the Air Force Discharge Review Board
(AFDRB) to have his discharge upgraded to honorable. The AFDRB
denied the applicants appeal on 29 May 84 noting there was no
legal or equitable basis for an upgrade of the applicants
discharge.
On 14 Nov 11, the Board staff requested the applicant provide
documentation concerning his activities since leaving military
service (Exhibit D).
In response, the applicant states he has grown as a person and
notes his educational and professional accomplishments. The
applicants complete response with attachments is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 and narrative reason
for separation was contrary to the provisions of the governing
regulation, unduly harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses
committed. We also considered upgrading the discharge based on
clemency; however, the applicant has not submitted evidence that
shows a successful post-service adjustment. 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.
