RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05713
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under honorable conditions (general) discharge be upgraded.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was denied the opportunity to cross train but was offered an
early separation instead. He had a good work ethic, followed
orders to the best of his ability, and never misbehaved or got
into trouble in the military. He has accomplished many great
things since separating from the Air Force.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 23 Feb 90, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air
Force.
On 8 Jul 92, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge under the provisions of AFR 39-10,
Administrative Separation of Airmen, for unsatisfactory
performance and a pattern of misconduct. The reasons for the
action were: repeatedly failing to comply with laboratory
procedures according to his training, failing to show while on
call, failing to perform corrective actions appropriately, and
disobeying a direct order, resulting in multiple letters of
counseling, letters of reprimand, and the establishment of an
unfavorable information file.
On 13 Jul 92, after consulting with legal counsel, the applicant
acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification. An area
defense counsel representative and the applicant submitted
statements on his behalf.
On 14 Jul 92, after review of comments from the unit commander
and the staff judge advocate, the discharge authority approved
the commanders recommendation.
On 15 Jul 92, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge and credited with 2 years,
4 months, and 23 days of active service.
According to information provided by Air Force Office of Special
Investigation, a criminal record pertaining to the applicant
does not exist.
On 28 Jul 14, a request for post-service information was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response 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 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 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.
