RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03575
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
General (under honorable conditions) was a temporary character
of service. His commander informed him it would be corrected.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 29 Nov 72, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 12 May 86, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge for misconduct. The reasons for the
action included theft of two automotive fuel pumps, making a
false official statement, and operating a motor vehicle while
drunk, for which he twice received non-judicial punishment under
Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
After consulting with legal counsel, the applicant acknowledged
receipt of the action and waived his rights to an administrative
discharge board, or to submit a statement in his own behalf.
On 25 Jun 86, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge and credited with 13 years,
6 months, and 27 days of total active service.
On 21 Oct 87, the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB)
considered and denied the applicants request to have his
general discharge upgraded to honorable and narrative reason for
separation changed.
On 19 Feb 13, a request for post-service information was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30
days (Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been
received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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 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 his service and narrative reason
for separation was contrary to the provisions of the governing
regulation, unduly harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses
committed. In the interest of justice, we also considered
upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, in the
absence of any evidence related to his activities since leaving
the service, we are not inclined to recommend granting the
requested relief 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 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.
