RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05454
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge be upgraded
to Honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He does not believe his discharge should be less than an
honorable for his entire life.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 2 Sep 82.
On 9 Aug 85, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for drug abuse.
The reason for the action was the applicant tested positive for
marijuana on a random urinalysis.
On 26 Aug 85, the case was found to be legally sufficient and on
6 Sep 85, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
furnished a general discharge, without probation and
rehabilitation. On 23 Sep 85, the applicant was furnished a
general (under honorable conditions) discharge and was credited
with 3 years and 22 days of total active service.
On 15 Aug 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 applicants 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 applicants General (Under
Honorable Conditions) discharge for drug abuse was consistent
with the substantive requirements of the discharge regulation
and within the commanders 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 on the basis of
clemency; however, in the absence of any evidence relating to
his post-service accomplishments, we find no basis 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 applicants General
(Under Honorable Conditions) discharge.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.

On 10 Sep 1996, the applicant was discharged from the Air Force, with service characterized as general (under honorable conditions). On 17 May 2002, the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied the applicants request for a discharge upgrade. In the interest of justice, we considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, we do not find the evidence presented is sufficient to compel us to recommend granting the relief sought on that basis.
