IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04323
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was in an abusive relationship at the time of the discharge;
both of them were active duty Security Police, with untreated
alcoholism. She is proud to announce she has been an active
member of Alcoholic Anonymous since 2007. She requests
forgiveness and consideration in upgrading her discharge to
honorable.
In support of her appeal, the applicant submits a personal
statement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 30 December
1980. On 21 December 1982, she was notified of her commanders
intent to discharge her from the Air Force for drug abuse.
Specifically, between on or about 28 August 1982 and 7 December
1982, she wrongfully used marijuana in the hashish form. The
applicant acknowledged her commanders intent, her right to
legal counsel and to submit statements on her behalf. She
consulted counsel and declined to submit a statement on her
behalf.
On 29 December 1982, the staff judge advocate found the
discharge legally sufficient. On 10 January 1983, the commander
approved the discharge and directed she be separated with a
general discharge. The applicant was separated on 24 January
1982 with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge.
On 7 June 2013, a request for post-service information was
forwarded to the applicant for 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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicants 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 applicants
discharge on the basis of clemency; however, we find
insufficient evidence to recommend granting the request 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.
