COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told that he could apply for an honorable discharge if he
did not get into any trouble after leaving the military.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 February
1978.
AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment/Noncommissioned Officer (NCO)
Status Consideration, dated 27 December 1982 reflects the
applicants supervisor non-recommended him for reenlistment due
to his frequent involvement in incidents which did not reflect
credit on himself and the Air Force. He received three letters
of reprimand for failing to comply with directives; he was
counseled on several occasions for failing to report for duty at
the prescribed time; he demonstrated the inability to manage his
personal affairs resulting in several indebtedness incidents; and
his performance level was not up to that expected of a career
NCO.
Notification of Reenlistment Ineligibility, dated 14 March 1983,
states the applicant was ineligible to reenlist due to his NCO
status being vacated. The applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification on 17 March 1983.
On 26 July 1983, the applicant was discharged with a general
(under honorable conditions) discharge in the grade of airman
first class under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Misconduct
Patter Discreditable Involvement with Military or Civil
Authorities. He served 5 years, 5 months and 20 days on active
duty.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which
to recommend granting the relief sought.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
