________________________________________________________________
_

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.
