RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00686
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Under Other Than Honorable Conditions discharge be upgraded
to Honorable.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His Honorable discharge was revoked after an incident at the
base gate.
While leaving the base an airman at the gate instructed him to
pull over, he tried to flee to avoid a possible ticket. It was
a bad mistake of which he paid dearly.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 30 Jan
78.
On 12 Feb 79, the applicant received an Article 15, Nonjudicial
Punishment, for violating Article 134, wrongful possession of
marijuana. He was reduced in grade to airman basic and ordered
to forfeit $50.00 per month for two months. The reduction in
grade was suspended.
On 6 Sep 79, the applicant received an Article 15, Nonjudicial
Punishment, for two violations of Article 86, failure to go at
the time prescribed to his appointed place of duty. He was
reduced in grade to airman basic and restricted to the limits of
base for a period of 14 days.
On 8 Dec 79, the applicant was convicted by a Special Court-
Martial for violating Article 111 (driving while intoxicated)
and two specifications of Article 128 (assault). He was
sentenced to a Bad Conduct discharge, confinement at hard labor
for two months and to forfeit $299.00 of pay per month for two
months.
On 4 Dec 81, the applicant was furnished an Under Other Than
Honorable discharge, and was credited with 3 years and 8 months
of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFLOA/JAJM recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice. The requested relief cannot be done
administratively. The application is more than three years
since the applicant was court-martialed and discharged.
A complete copy of the AFLOA/JAJM 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 19 Sep 14 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
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 note
that this Board is without authority to reverse, set aside, or
otherwise expunge a court-martial conviction. Rather, in
accordance with Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552(f),
actions by this Board are limited to corrections to the record
to reflect actions taken by the reviewing officials and action
on the sentence of the court-martial for the purpose of
clemency. We find no evidence which indicates the applicants
service characterization, which had its basis in his court-
martial conviction and was a part of the sentence of the
military court, was improper or that it exceeded the limitations
set forth in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). We
have considered the applicants overall quality of service, the
court-martial conviction which precipitated the discharge, and
the seriousness of the offenses to which convicted. However, in
the absence of any evidence related to the applicants post-
service activities that would enable us to determine if his
accomplishments since his discharge are sufficient to overcome
the misconduct for which he was discharged, we find no basis
upon which to favorably consider 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.
