RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00937
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be
upgraded to honorable.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was told that her discharge would automatically be changed
to honorable after a year, when her original service date would
have been completed.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the applicant's military personnel records, she
initially entered the Regular Air Force on 23 Oct 79.
On 16 Dec 83, the applicant requested she be administratively
discharged in lieu of trial by court-martial.
On 23 Dec 83, the applicants commander recommended that her
request be approved. The reasons for the action included two
specifications of theft involving requesting and receiving Basic
Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) and Variable Housing Allowance
(VHA) for periods of time when she lived in government quarters.
On 17 Jan 84, the action was found legally sufficient and the
discharge authority concurred with the commander's
recommendation and directed the applicant be furnished a UOTHC
discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
On 25 Jan 84, the applicant was furnished a UOTHC discharge and
was credited with four years, two months, and three days of
total active service.
On 25 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 warrant such consideration. 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.
