         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 
 
IN THE MATTER OF:   
 
   
 
   
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
Her  general  (under  honorable  conditions)  discharge  be  upgraded 
to honorable. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
She  was  told  that  her  discharge  would  turn  into  an  honorable 
discharge after 6 months of being separated.  She is still being 
denied educational benefits because of her discharge. 
 
In  support  of  her  request,  the  applicant  submits  a  certificate 
of  service  and  her  DD  Form  214,  Certificate  of  Release  or 
Discharge from Active Duty. 
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  enlisted  in  the  Regular  Air  Force  on  7  December 
1984.    On  26  October  1987,  the  applicant  was  notified  of  her 
commander’s  intent  to  discharge  her  from  the  Air  Force  for 
unsatisfactory  performance.    Specifically,  the  applicant 
received  two  Article  15’s,  two  Letters  of  Reprimand  and  two 
records  of  counseling  for  financial  matters.    The  applicant 
acknowledged  her  right  to  counsel,  to  submit  matters  and  to  a 
hearing before an administrative discharge board.  She consulted 
counsel and waived her right to submit matters and to a hearing 
before a discharge board.   
 
On  13  November  1987,  the  staff  judge  advocate  found  the 
discharge  legally  sufficient.    On  18  November  1987,  the 
commander  directed  the  applicant  be  separated  with  a  general 
(under  honorable  conditions)  discharge.    She  was  credited  with 
2 years, 11 months and 13 days of active duty service. 
 

Pursuant  to  the  Board’s  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of 
Investigation,  Clarksburg,  West  Virginia  provided  a  copy  of  an 
investigation report (Exhibit C). 
 
On 18 July 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.
