RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02036
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told that six months after his separation from the Air
Force his discharge would be upgraded to honorable.
He needs an updated copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, since it still reflects a
general (under honorable conditions) discharge.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 4 Sep 1985, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 14 Dec 1988, his commander notified him he was recommending
he be discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative Separation of Airmen. The specific reasons for
his action are reflected in the Notification Memorandum, dated
14 Dec 1988, at Exhibit B.
On 20 Dec 1988, the Staff Judge Advocate found the discharge
legally sufficient.
On 4 Jan 1989, the applicant was discharged from the Air Force,
with service characterized as general (under honorable
conditions).
________________________________________________________________
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. In the interest of
justice, 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 in this application.
________________________________________________________________
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.
