________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

AF IMT Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at

________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 13 Jan 94, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 18 Sep 12, the applicant received a general (under honorable
conditions) discharge with a narrative reason for separation of
Misconduct (Minor Infractions). She was credited with
18 years, 8 months and 6 days of total active service.
On 14 Jan 14, AFPC/DPSOR notified the applicant that as a result
of her Lengthy Service Probation consideration, her separation
orders were amended to reflect the correct service
characterization of general (under honorable conditions).
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating the applicants
separation orders have been amended to reflect the correct
service characterization intended by the discharge authority and
a copy has been placed in the applicants record.
On 19 Jan 12, the applicants commander notified her that he was
recommending her discharge from the Air Force for misconduct
(minor disciplinary infractions). The reasons for the action
included the applicant making false official statements, being
arrested on the charge of burglary with a weapon, failing to pay
her debts, and writing false checks, for which she received
three Letters of Reprimand (LORs) and nonjudicial punishment
(NJP) action under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military
Justice (UCMJ), respectively.
On 6 Sep 12, the Air Force Review Boards Agency, acting under
authority delegated by the Secretary of the Air Force, denied
the applicants request for Lengthy Service Probation and
directed the administrative discharge be executed. The
applicant was discharged with a general, under honorable
conditions service characterization.
In accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, paragraph 6.35, airmen who have completed at least
16 but less than 20 years of active service creditable toward
retirement at the time discharge action starts, are entitled to
special consideration for probation upon their request since
they are nearing retirement eligibility.
A copy of the DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 Jan 14 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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 an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
