HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

 
 
IN THE MATTER OF: 
 
     
 
     
 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  General  (Under  Honorable  Conditions)  discharge  be  upgraded 
to Honorable. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
His record is not unjust.  He simply requests that his discharge 
be upgraded so that, in the event of his death, his family will 
be  able  to  accompany  him  to  his  last  resting  place  with  full 
military honors.    
 
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The applicant entered active duty on 1 May 86.   
 
On  2  Sep  87,  the  applicant’s  commander  notified  him  he  was 
recommending  him  for  discharge,  and  recommended  him  for 
discharge  from  the  Air  Force  for  irresponsibility  in  the 
management  of  personal  finances  and  minor  disciplinary 
infractions.  The proposed discharge was based on the following 
actions he received between 6 Feb 87 and 5 Aug 87: 
 
 
a.  Six Letters of Reprimand (LORs), one with a Unfavorable 
Information File (UIF); four for financial irresponsibility, one 
for  missing  a  military  dental  appointment,  and  one  for  being 
continuously late for work. 
 
 
Counseling (LOCs) for being late for work.  
 
 
Letters. 
 
On 24 Sep 87, the applicant waived his right to counsel and to 
submit a statement on his own behalf.   

b.  Five  counseling  sessions  or  formal  Letters  of 

discharge 

for 

of 

misconduct—pattern 

On  2  Oct  87,  the  case  was  reviewed  and  found  to  be  legally 
sufficient, and on 7 Oct 87 the discharge authority directed his 
discharge.   
 
On  14  Oct  87,  he  was  furnished  a  General  (Under  Honorable 
Conditions) 
minor 
disciplinary  infractions,  and  was  credited  with  1  year, 
5 months, and 14 days of active service.   
 
Pursuant  to  the  Board’s  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of 
Investigation (FBI) provided a copy of an Investigative Report, 
which is at Exhibit C. 
 
On  23  Jul  12,  a  copy  of  the  FBI  Investigative  Report  and  a 
request  for  post-service  information  was  forwarded  to  the 
applicant  for  review  and  comment  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  an  error  or  injustice.    We  took 
notice  of  the  applicant’s  complete  submission  in  judging  the 
merits  of  the  case;  however,  we  do  not  find  the  documentation 
presented  sufficient  to  conclude  the  applicant  has  been  the 
victim  of  an  error  or  injustice.    Based  on  the  available 
evidence  of  record,  it  appears  the  applicant’s  General  (Under 
Honorable  Conditions)  discharge  for  misconduct  was  consistent 
with  the  substantive  requirements  of  the  discharge  regulation 
and  within  the  discharge  authority’s  discretion.    He  has 
provided  no  evidence  which  would  lead  us  to  believe  otherwise.  
In  the  interest  of  justice,  we  considered  upgrading  his 
discharge  on  the  basis  of  clemency;  however,  in  the  absence  of 
any evidence for us to consider in determining whether his post-
service  accomplishments  were  sufficient  to  overcome  the 
misconduct  that  formed  the  basis  of  his  discharge,  we  are  not 
inclined  to  grant  the  relief  sought  on  that  basis.    Therefore, 
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no 
basis  exists  for  us  to  recommend  granting  the  relief  sought  in 
this application.

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.
