AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01101
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not at fault in this matter; the weapons were in his care
and placed in his locker without his knowledge. He had issues
with his roommate in the barracks as well as his First Sergeant.
He wishes to have his character of service changed to honorable.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on
26 Jul 83.
On 11 May 87, the applicant was notified by his commander of his
intent to recommend his discharge for Misconduct - Pattern of
minor disciplinary infractions. The reasons for the action were
as follows:
a. On 13 Feb 86, the applicant received a letter of
reprimand (LOR) for stopping payment on checks that he had
written.
b. On 15 Sep 86, the applicant received a letter of
counseling (LOC) for failure to properly perform duties.
c. On 7 Nov 86, the applicant received an LOC for failure
to properly perform duties.
d. On or about 1 Feb 87, the applicant received an LOR for
willfully damaging government property.
e. On or about 4 Feb 87, the applicant received Article 15
punishment consisting of a suspended reduction to the grade of
airmen first class (E-3) and a forfeiture of pay for storing a
firearm in his dormitory room.
f. On or about 6 May 87, the suspended reduction to the
grade of airmen first class was vacated because the applicant
stored a firearm in his dormitory room.
On 13 May 87, after consulting with legal counsel, the applicant
elected not to submit statements on his behalf.
On 21 May 87, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable condition) discharge for Misconduct and was credited
with 3 years, 9 months, and 26 days of total active service.
On 28 Apr 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 are sufficiently meritorious to overcome the misconduct
for which he was discharged. 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.
