for assaulting another airman.On 30 May 84, the applicant received an 
Article 15, Record of Nonjudicial Punishment, for filing a fraudulent 
travel claim.On 15 Jun 84, the applicant was notified of pending 
discharge actions.  Specifically, the commander cited the applicant’s 
commission of a serious offense by presenting for approval and payment a 
false and fraudulent travel claim and other actions surrounding the 
claim.  The applicant consulted counsel and waived his right to submit 
statements in his own behalf.On 22 Jun 84, the applicant’s case was found 
legally sufficient for discharge.  The discharge authority directed a 
general (under honorable conditions) discharge without probation and 
rehabilitation.  The applicant was discharged with a general discharge on 
26 Jun 84.Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI) provided a copy of an Investigative Report,

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 error or injustice.  We took notice of the applicant's 
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, the 
applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or 
injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.  The applicant 
provided no facts warranting a change to his general discharge.  
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel records (MPR), 
it appears the discharge was consistent with the substantive requirements 
of the discharge regulation.  Additionally, we considered upgrading the 
discharge based on clemency; however, we find no compelling basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought on that basis.  Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to 
recommend granting the relief sought. 
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:The applicant be notified that the evidence 
presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or 
injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; 
and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
