IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02579
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) be upgraded to
honorable.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Racism was the reason why he received a UHC discharge. He would
like to right a wrong in his life.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge from the
Armed Forces of the United States.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 24 Jul 74.
The applicant was notified by his commander that he was
recommending him for discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFM 39-12, Chapter 2, Section A, Paragraph 2-4c.
The specific reason for this action was for being derelict in
performing his duties, being disorderly on station and failing
to obey a direct order from a security policeman, and failing to
report for duty on several occasions. He received a letter of
reprimand, suspended reduction to A1C and forfeiture of $50.00
per month for 2 months, and counseling for his actions. The
applicant received a general discharge effective 21 Feb 78 after
serving 3 years, 6 months, and 28 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
_
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. Based upon the
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs
and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the
applicant's discharge was proper and in compliance with
appropriate directives. Therefore, based on the available
evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably
consider this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
_
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.
