_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant commenced her enlistment in the Regular Air Force
on 1 Apr 80.
On 15 Sep 82, the applicants commander notified her that he was
recommending her discharge for misconduct frequent involvement
of a discreditable nature. The reasons for action included the
following offenses: failure to go, use of reproachful words,
insulting and disrespectful language, reckless operation of a
government vehicle, failure to meet a scheduled appointment, and
operating a vehicle with expired license plates, for which she
was punished three times under Article 15, a letter of reprimand
(LOR), letter of counseling (LOC), and a traffic citation.
On 30 Sep 82, she acknowledged receipt of the action.
On 29 Sep 82, an evaluation officer was appointed to evaluate the
applicants case. On 1 Oct 82, after interviewing the applicant
and reviewing her records and case file, the evaluation officer
recommended the applicant be furnished a general discharge
without probation and rehabilitation.
On 13 Oct 82, the case was found to be legally sufficient and
recommended the applicant be discharged with a general discharge
without probation and rehabilitation.
On 18 Oct 82, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
furnished a general discharge. She was so discharged on
18 Oct 82 and was credited with 2 years, 6 months, and 18 days of
active service.
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 her 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 her post-service activities,
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.
