RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04881
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He acted irresponsibly with his finances, however, he was young
and immature. He has become a responsible person since then and
has a desire to put this blemish behind him. His patriotism has
not and will not waiver. He is proud of his service to his
country.
The applicant submits no supporting documentation.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 May 1988.
On 19 December 1989, the applicant was notified of his
commanders intent to discharge him from the Air Force for
irresponsibility in managing his personal finances.
Specifically, the applicant received four Letters of Reprimand
for financial matters. The applicant consulted counsel and
submitted matters on his behalf. On 21 December 1989, the staff
judge advocate found the discharge legally sufficient. On
22 December 1989, the commander directed the applicant be
separated with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge.
He was credited with 1 year, 7 months and 24 days of active duty
service.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia provided a copy of an
investigation report (Exhibit C).
On 14 March 2012, the FBI investigation and a request for post-
service information were forwarded to the applicant for response
within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received
by this office (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 during the discharge process. 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, or unduly harsh. In the
interest of justice we considered upgrading the discharge based
on clemency; however, there was no evidence submitted 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 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.
