RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01968
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His General (under honorable conditions) discharge be changed to
Honorable.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time of his discharge he was experiencing hardship and
was forced to move to a relatives home in Oklahoma. He tried
to set up a temporary transfer to the Oklahoma unit so that he
could continue with his Unit Training Assembly (UTA). After
returning to his home unit and having missed several UTAs, he
was informed of his discharge. He was told that it would be
under Honorable conditions for unsatisfactory participation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Air National Guard on 5 Oct
91.
On an illegible date, the applicants commander notified him of
his intent to recommend his discharge for unsatisfactory
participation in scheduled training.
On an illegible date in Jun 98, the applicant acknowledged
receipt of the action and was afforded the opportunity to
consult with legal counsel.
On 30 Dec 98, the applicant was furnished a general discharge,
and was credited with 7 years, 2 months, and 26 days of active
service.
On 4 Aug 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.
