RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04577 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His honorable discharge be changed to a medical discharge. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He suffered from a compensable medical condition which is now 
controlled by medication. This change will open up his 
veteran’s benefits. 

 

The applicant submits no supporting documentation. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 26 December 
1971. 

 

On 19 June 1974, the applicant was notified of his commander’s 
intent to discharge him from the Air Force under the provisions 
of Air Force Manual 39-12, Separation for Unsuitability, 
Misconduct, Resignation, or Request for Discharge for the Good 
of the Service and Procedures for the Rehabilitation Program, 
for unsuitability – apathy, defective attitudes and inability to 
expend effort constructively. 

 

Specifically, the applicant’s disciplinary actions include an 
Article 15, a Letter of Reprimand, two Letter’s of Counseling, 
and two mental health evaluations stating the applicant “has a 
weak characterlogical defense structure limiting his ability to 
successfully cope with stress.” It further stated that “he is 
unable to … adjust to Air Force life.” 

 

On 21 June 1974, the applicant acknowledged his commander’s 
intent, his right to consult counsel and to submit statements on 
his behalf. He also acknowledged his right to a discharge 
board. He waived the discharge board and declined to submit 


statements on his behalf. On 29 June 1974, the Staff Judge 
Advocate found the case legally sufficient. On 3 July 1974, the 
commander approved the discharge and directed the applicant 
receive an honorable discharge. He was credited with serving 
2 years, 6 months and 24 days on active duty. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. After careful 
consideration of the applicant's request and the available 
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or 
injustice to warrant corrective action. Absent evidence the 
applicant was denied rights to which entitled, appropriate 
regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not 
applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record. 
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.
