RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01018
COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
2. Her Reentry (RE) code of 2B, which denotes "approved
involuntary separation with less than honorable discharge," be
upgraded.
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was young, immature and made a mistake by drinking underage.
She loves her country and would like to reenlist and become a
career Airman.
The applicant provides no documents in support of her request.
Her complete submission is at Exhibit A.
__________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 11 Sep 2007, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 4 Nov 2008, her commander notified her that she was
recommending her discharge from the Air Force under the provisions
of AFPD 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations, and AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, for a pattern of
misconduct, specifically, conduct prejudicial to good order and
discipline. The specific reasons for her action are reflected in
the Notification Memorandum at Exhibit B.
On 4 Nov 2008, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge
notification and on 11 Nov 2008, she submitted a statement for
consideration.
On 13 Nov 2008, the Deputy Staff Judge Advocate found the
discharge legally sufficient.
On 24 Nov 2008, she was discharged from the Air Force, with
service characterized as general (under honorable conditions).
Her narrative reason for separation is Misconduct. She served
1 year, 2 months, and 14 days of total active service.
__________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of the applicants request to change
her character of service to honorable. DPSOR states that based on
her overall performance, the discharge authority approved a
general (under honorable conditions) discharge. According to AFI
36-3208, paragraph 1.18.2, a general discharge is appropriate when
"significant negative aspects of the airman's conduct or
performance of duty outweighs positive aspects of the airman's
military record." Her misconduct in this case clearly outweighed
the positive aspects of her service. As reflected in her
discharge package, she has shown a continued disregard for
military standards and good order and discipline. Her record
further shows she was counseled on numerous occasions for her
behavior and afforded an opportunity to overcome her deficiencies.
Her discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not
provide any evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the
discharge processing.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to change
her RE code. DPSOR states that RE code 2B is required per AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on her involuntary
discharge with a general (under honorable conditions) character of
service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
__________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 19 May 2013, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit
E).
__________________________________________________________________
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 agree with the opinions and recommendations
of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their
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 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.
