RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04259
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His (general) under honorable conditions discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge was inequitable because it was based on one
isolated incident in 23 months of service. He served with
distinction and honors, receiving numerous letters of recognition
and achievement.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of
documents extracted from his military personnel records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 26 Sep 85, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force. He served as an Aircraft Pneudrautic Systems
Mechanic.
On 30 Jul 87, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge for misconduct. The specific reason
for the discharge action was that he received an Article 15 for
making obscene telephone calls between February 1987 and 29 June
1987.
On 31 Jul 87, he acknowledged receipt of the notification letter
and, after consulting with legal counsel, elected to submit a
statement in his own behalf. On 7 Aug 87, the applicant waived
his right to submit a statement in his own behalf.
On 23 Aug 87, the legal office found the case to be legally
sufficient and recommended the applicant be furnished a general
(under honorable conditions) discharge without probation and
rehabilitation.
On 14 Aug 87, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
furnished a general discharge without probation and
rehabilitation.
On 17 Aug 87, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge and he was credited with 1 year,
10 months, and 22 days of active service.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation indicated that on the basis of the data furnished,
they were unable to locate an arrest record.
On 15 Feb 12, the Board staff requested the applicant provide
documentation concerning his activities since leaving military
service (Exhibit C).
In response, the applicant provides copies of character
references and copies of various certificates, awards, and
letters related to his professional accomplishments since leaving
the service. The applicants complete response with attachments
is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We considered
upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, we do not
find the evidence presented is sufficient to compel us 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
