RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02618
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Separation Program Designator (SPD) of JGH, which denotes
"Involuntary discharge, minimally productive/limited potential
airman, be changed.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The SPD code and corresponding reason for separation is
disparaging, ambiguous and leaves an unfavorable impression of
his military service.
The Board should find it in the interest of justice to consider
his untimely application because he was very proud to serve his
country; however, due to personal problems he had to cut short
his service.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 24 August 1973, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air
Force.
On 6 September 1974, the applicants commander notified him that
he was recommending he be discharged under the provisions of AFM
39-10, Separation Upon Expiration of Term of Service, for
Convenience of Government, Minority, Dependency, and Hardship.
The specific reasons for his action were that the applicant
failed to maintain an acceptable standard of behavior, personal
dress, appearance, and initiative. The applicant was counseled
on numerous occasions; however, counseling had gone unheeded and
further efforts to rehabilitate him were not considered in the
best interest of the Air Force.
On 6 September 1974, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
discharge notification and that legal counsel was made available
to him. He did not request retention in the Air Force.
In an undated letter, the discharge authority approved an
honorable discharge.
On 13 September 1974, the applicant was honorably discharged
from the Air Force. His SPD code is JGH and his reason for
separation is Involuntary discharge, minimally productive/
limited potential airman. He served on active duty for 1 year
and 20 days.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. The applicant has not submitted a
timely application. It has been almost 40 years since the
applicant separated from the Air Force and he has not provided
any evidence of an error or injustice regarding the processing
of his discharge. Based on the documentation on file in the
master personnel records, the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 8 September 2014, a copy of the Air Force evaluation 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 D).
FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS OF THE BOARD:
After careful consideration of applicants request and the
available evidence of record, we find the application untimely.
The applicant did not file within three years after the alleged
error or injustice was discovered as required by Title 10,
United States Code, § 1552, Correction of Military Records and
AFI 36-2603, Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records.
Furthermore, the applicant has not shown a plausible reason for
the delay in filing, and we are not persuaded that the record
raises issues of error or injustice which require resolution on
the merits. Thus, we cannot conclude it would be in the
interest of justice to excuse the applicants failure to file in
a timely manner.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The application was not timely filed and it would not be in the
interest of justice to waive the untimeliness. It is the
decision of the Board, therefore, to reject the application as
untimely.
The following members of the Board considered this application
in Executive Session on 9 April 2015, under the provisions of
AFI 36-2603:
