RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03525
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general discharge be upgraded to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His commanding officer told him he could apply to receive an
honorable discharge. He needs his discharge upgraded to be
eligible for insurance and better jobs.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 7 May 90, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of four years.
On 19 Feb 92, the squadron commander notified the applicant of
administrative discharge action for minor disciplinary
infractions. For a full list of the offenses, please see the
commanders notification letter at Exhibit B. After consulting
with counsel and having been advised of his rights, the
applicant waived his right to submit statements in his own
behalf. The staff judge advocate found the case file legally
sufficient and recommended the applicant receive a general
discharge without probation and rehabilitation (P&R). On
24 Feb 92, the discharge authority approved the general
discharge without P&R.
On 26 Feb 92, the applicant was discharged by reason of
misconduct pattern of minor disciplinary infractions, with
service characterized as general (under honorable conditions).
He was credited with 1 year, 9 months, and 20 days of active
duty service.
Other relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicant's military records, are at Exhibit B.
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this
Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
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. 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 during the discharge process. 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. Considering the
applicants overall record of service, the numerous infractions
which led to his administrative separation and the lack of post-
service documentation, we are not persuaded that an upgrade of
the characterization of his discharge is warranted on the basis
of clemency. Should the applicant provide additional
information, e.g., post-service documentation to support his
claim, we would be willing to reconsider his request.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis upon which to recommend granting the relief sought.
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 issue involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
