RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04650
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general, under honorable conditions discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served honorably and learned a lot about himself while he was
in the Air Force. He did not have a pattern of misconduct but
was targeted by his flight chief and had he been under a
different supervisor he would still be in the Air Force today.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal
statement and copies of character reference letters.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 13 Sep 05, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force in
the grade of airman basic (E1).
On 17 Feb 10, the applicant was discharged under the provisions
of AFI 36-3208, Separation of Airmen, with a reason for
separation of misconduct (minor infractions), with service
characterized as general (under honorable conditions). He was
credited with four years, five months and five days of active
duty service.
Other relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicant's military records, are contained in the
letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force.
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this
Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, stating, in part, that based on
the documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge, to include his reentry code and narrative reason for
separation was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not
provide any evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in
the processing of the discharge.
Based on the applicants overall performance, the discharge
authority approved a general, (under honorable conditions)
discharge. According to AFI 36-3208, para 1.18.2, a general
discharge is appropriate when significant negative aspects of
the airmans, conduct or performance of duty outweighs the
positive aspects of the airmans military record. The
commander stated before recommending the discharge that the
applicant had received two Article 15s and five letters of
reprimand.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 Dec 12 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
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 agree with the opinion and recommendation
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. 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. While the applicant contends that he
did not have a pattern of misconduct, but was targeted by his
flight chief, we note in his statements to his commander, he
stated that he took full ownership of everything that happened
during his career and pointed the finger at no one but himself.
In view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
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.
