STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 13 Jul 88. 
Her commander recommended her for discharge for minor disciplinary 
infractions IAW AFR 39-10, paragraph 5-46. The specific reasons 
for her discharge were: 

 

 a. She violated a lawful general regulation by wrongfully 
drinking alcohol under age. As a result, she was incapacitated for 
the proper performance of her duties. 

 

 b. She was derelict in her duty, in that she reported to work 
late. She received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) on 16 Mar 90 for 
her actions. 

 

 c. She reported late for an out brief. 

 

 d. She consumed alcoholic beverages, even though she was under 
age and she had been briefed that Wyoming state law and F.E. Warren 
Air Force Base regulations prohibit drinking under 21 years of age. 
She received another LOR for her actions. 

 

 

 


 e. She failed to attend a scheduled appointment. 

 

The staff judge advocate found the case legally sufficient and the 
discharge authority directed she be discharged with a general 
discharge effective 20 Apr 90. She served 1 year, 9 months, and 
8 days on active duty 

 

A request for information pertaining to her post-service activities 
was forwarded to the applicant on 18 Jun 10 for response within 
30 days (see Exhibit C). As of this date, the applicant has not 
responded. 

 

Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia, indicated on the basis of 
the data furnished they were unable to identify an arrest record.

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, 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 her service was contrary to the 
provisions of the governing regulation, unduly harsh, or 
disproportionate to the offenses committed. 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 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.
