________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 8 Feb 1995, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 26 Jun 1996, his commander notified him that he was
recommending he be discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. The specific reasons
for his action were the applicant was derelict in the
performance of his duties and had numerous incidents of failure
to go.
On 26 Jun 1996, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
discharge notification and on 9 Jul 1996, he submitted
statements in his own behalf.
On 18 Jul 1996, the discharge authority determined the applicant
lacked potential for continued military service and would be
discharged with a general discharge for minor disciplinary
infractions. Additionally, the discharge authority stated that
despite counseling and other rehabilitative efforts, the
applicant has demonstrated a lack of desire and motivation to
comply with Air Force rules and regulations. Therefore,
probation and rehabilitation was denied.
On 19 Aug 1996, he was discharged from the Air Force with a
general (under honorable conditions) discharge. He served a
total of 1 year, 5 months and 12 days of active duty.
On 14 Mar 2014, a request for post-service information was
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(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 an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred in the discharge processing. Based on
the available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was
consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the commander's discretionary
authority. The applicant has provided no evidence which would
lead us to believe the characterization of the service was
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation, unduly
harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses committed. In the
interest of justice, we considered upgrading the discharge based
on clemency; however, in the absence of any evidence related to
the applicants post-service activities, there is no way for us
to determine if the applicants accomplishments since leaving
the service are sufficiently meritorious to overcome the
misconduct for which he was discharged Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to
recommend granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
?
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.
