APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was injured while on active duty. He is a 20 percent

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 17 Sep 85, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. 

 

On 10 Jan 86, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was 
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for drug abuse. 
The specific reason for the action was the applicant wrongfully 
used marijuana as evidenced by his positive drug test result. 

 

On 10 Jan 86, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action, 
his right to consult with legal counsel, and submit statements 
in his own behalf and, on 13 Jan 86, he waived his right to 
submit statements. 

 

On 21 Jan 86, the case was found legally sufficient and, on 
17 Jan 86, the discharge authority directed the applicant be 
furnished a general (under honorable conditions) discharge. 

 

On 5 Feb 86, the applicant was furnished a general (under 
honorable conditions) discharge with a narrative reason for 
separation of “Misconduct – Drug Abuse.” He was credited with 
4 months and 19 days of total active service. 

 


The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary which is attached at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
change his narrative reason for discharge, indicating there is 
no evidence of an error or injustice. Based on the 
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the 
discharge to include the service characterization was 
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the 
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence 
that an error or injustice occurred in the processing of his 
discharge and has provided no facts warranting a change to his 
narrative reason for separation. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 14 Dec 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit E). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
Therefore, 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.
