REPLY TO 
A m  OF

0  APR  lQ91 

AlC i ------------------------------------------------! 
317th Security Police Squadron 

1.  I am recommending your discharge from the United States Air Force for 
Minor Disciplinary Infractions.  The authority for this action is AFR  39-10, 
paragraph 5-46.  If my recommendation is approved, your service will be 
characterized as general. 

2.  My reasons for this action are: 

a.  You knew of your duties at Osan Air Base, Korea, from about 19 November 

1990 to about 9 January 1991, were derelicit in the performance of those duties in 
that you willfully failed to turn in your UPRG records over to the appropriate 
activity upon arrival at Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina and you willfully did 
not safeguard these records enroute as it was your duty to do so.  For this you 
received an Article 15, dated 25 March 1991. 

b.  You did, on or about 31 January 1990, fail to pay a loan to the 1st 

Liberty Credit Union.  For this, you received a Letter of Reprimand, dated 11 July 
1990. 

c.  You did, on or about 16 September 1989, fail to complete M-60 firing 

training class because of disorderly conduct.  For this, you received a Letter of 
Reprimand, dated 16 October 1989. 

d.  You, who knew of your duties with the 321st Strategic Missile Wing 
complex, North Dakota, on or about 19 September 1988, were derelict in the 
performance of those duties in that you willfully failed to remain alert and 
attentive while assigned to provide site security at Oscar 44 Launch Facility, as 
it was your duty to do.  For this, you received an Article 15, dated 28 September 
1988. 

Copies of the documents to be forwarded to the separation authority in 
support of this recommendation are attached.  The commander exercising SPCM 
jurisdiction or a higher authority will decide whether you will be discharged 
or retained in the Air Force and, if you are discharged, how your service will 
be characterized.  If you are discharged, you will be ineligible for 
reenlistment in the Air Force. 

3.  You have the right to consult counsel.  Military legal counsel has been 
obtained to assist you.  I have made an appointment for you to consult Capt 
Letteney at Bldg 344, on 5 April 1991 at 0930 hours.  You may consult 
civilian counsel at your own expense. 

4 .   You have the right to submit statements in your own behalf.  Any statement 
you want the separation authority to consider must reach me by  10 April 1991 
unless you request and receive an extension for good cause shown.  I will send 
them to the separation authority. 

5.  If you fail to consult or to submit statements in your own behalf, your 
failure will constitute a wavier of your right to do so. 

6.  You bave been scheduled for a medical examination.  You must report to the 
USAF Pope Clinic at 0730 hours on 4 April 1991 for the examination. 

7.  Any personal information you furnish in rebuttal is covered by the Privacy 
Act Statement as explained in AFR 39-10, Attachment 6.  A copy of AFR  39-10 is 
available for your use in the unit Orderly Room.
