RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04364 

 

 COUNSEL: NO 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded 
to honorable. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was unfairly treated at the time of his separation. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 19 May 94. 

 

On 20 Aug 96, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was 
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for minor 
disciplinary infractions. The reasons for the action included a 
Letter of Reprimand (LOR), for failure to go; nonjudicial 
punishment (NJP) under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of 
Military Justice (UCMJ) for failure to go and disobeying a 
lawful order; Vacation of Suspended NJP for failure to go; a 
Letter of Counseling (LOC) for failure to pay Temporary Lodging 
Facility (TLF) bill; an LOR and Unfavorable Information File 
(UIF) for driving under the influence, reckless driving and 
underage drinking; and a LOC for being “out of uniform”, by not 
wearing his hat outdoors. 

 

On 20 Aug 96, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the 
notification of discharge and after consulting with legal 
counsel, submitted statements in his own behalf. 

 

On 3 Sep 96, the case was found to be legally sufficient and on 
5 Sep 96, the discharge authority directed the applicant be 
furnished a general discharge, without probation and 
rehabilitation. On 10 Sep 96, the applicant was furnished a 


general (under honorable conditions) discharge and was credited 
with 2 years, 3 months, and 22 days of total active service. 

 

On 2 May 13, a request for post-service information was 
forwarded to applicant for comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit C). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 process. Based on the available 
evidence of record, it appears the applicant’s General (Under 
Honorable Conditions) discharge for minor disciplinary 
infractions was consistent with the substantive requirements of 
the discharge regulation and within the commander’s 
discretionary authority. He has provided no evidence which 
would lead us to believe the characterization of his service was 
improper or contrary to the provisions of the governing 
directive. In the interest of justice, we considered upgrading 
the discharge; however, in the absence of any documentation 
related to the applicant’s activities since leaving the service, 
we are not compelled to recommend granting the relief sought on 
that basis. In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to 
upgrade the applicant’s General (Under Honorable Conditions) 
discharge. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
