RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00136

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

Her general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded 
to an honorable discharge.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:  

The record is unjust because she was punished for a behavioral 
incident and then discharged months after the fact.  She had 
orders to the Philippines, orders were cancelled, reenlistment 
was revoked and she was subsequently discharged. 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 25 
Apr 88.

On 3 May 91, the applicant’s commander notified her that he was 
recommending her discharge for minor disciplinary infractions 
under the provisions of AFR-39-10, Paragraph 5.46.  The reasons 
for the action were as follows:  Violation of TAFBR 11-1, 
Chapter 6, being in a dormitory building after visiting hours, 
for which she received a Letter Of Reprimand/Unfavorable 
Information File and placement on the control roster on 8 Apr 
91.  On or about 28 Dec 90, she wrote a check to the Navy 
Exchange without sufficient funds to cover the check, for which 
she received a Letter of Counseling.  On or about 17 Aug 90, 
with intent to deceive, she made a false official statement to 
Security Police, for which she received an Article 15; 
punishment consisted of a suspended reduction to Airman, thirty 
days extra duty, and forfeiture of $75.00 per month for two 
months.  On 2 August 1990, she made a false statement involving 
payment of two bounced checks and two movie rentals, for which 
she received an LOR that was placed in her UIF.  On 6 Mar 90, 
she failed to report to her duty section at the scheduled time, 
for which she received an LOC.  On or about 30 Oct 88, she wrote 
a check to the Base Exchange without sufficient funds to cover 
the check, for which she received a LOC.   

On 10 May 91, after consulting with legal counsel the applicant 
acknowledged receipt of the action and waived her right to 
submit statements or rebuttal.

On 16 May 91, the action was found legally sufficient and the 
discharge authority subsequently concurred with the 
recommendation and directed the applicant’s discharge.

On 4 Jun 91, the applicant was furnished a general (under 
honorable conditions) discharge, and was credited with three 
years, one month, and ten days of active service.   

On 28 Apr 14, a request for post-service information was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment 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, due to the applicant’s failure to provide 
information regarding her post-service activities, we cannot 
conclude that such consideration is warranted.  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.


The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-00136 in Executive Session on 21 Nov 14, under 
the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

	

The following documentary evidence was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 27 Dec 13.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Letter, AFBCMR, 28 Apr 14, w/atch.

    In reviewing the evidence presented, I find there exists a legally sufficient basis to warrant separating -from the Air Force. Clearly and should be discharged. d.
