AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05398
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Air Force failed to provide her mental health services when
she requested it, which resulted in her general discharge. She
is still seeking counseling after being released from active
duty.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a DD Form 293,
Application for the Review of Discharge from the Armed Forces of
the United States, and a copy of her DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 9 Dec 08, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 31 Mar 10, the applicant was notified by her squadron
commander that he was recommending her discharge from the Air
Force for misconduct (minor disciplinary infractions). The
reason for the proposed action was: 1) On 8 Dec 09, she
received an Article 15 for underage drinking; the punishment
imposed was a reduction in grade to airman and an Unfavorable
Information File (UIF) action; 2) On 8 Feb 10, she received a
Letter of Admonishment for failure to go to her appointed place
of duty on or about 27 Jan 10 which was placed in her UIF; and
3) On 16 Feb 10, she received an Article 15 for underage
drinking; the punishment imposed was a reduction in grade to
airman basic, 14 days restriction, 14 days extra duty, and
placement in her existing UIF.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of
discharge and, after consulting with legal counsel, submitted
statements in her own behalf.
The base legal office found the case legally sufficient to
support the separation, and the discharge authority directed a
general (under honorable conditions) discharge without probation
and rehabilitation.
On 21 Apr 10, the applicant was discharged under the provisions
of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, for
Misconduct (Minor Disciplinary Infractions) with service
characterized as general (under honorable conditions). She
served on active duty for a period of 1 year, 4 months, and
13 days.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states the applicant did
not submit evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the discharge processing.
DPSOR states that based on the documentation on file in the
master personnel records, the discharge to include her character
of service was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 Mar 13, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).
As of this date, this office has received no response.
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or an injustice. While
the applicant contends the Air Force failed to provide her
mental health services, she has not provided substantial
evidence to support her claim. Therefore, we agree with the
opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice. 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 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.
