 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to 
honorable. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His discharge was unjust because of his family and personal 
hardships. 

 

No supporting documentation was submitted. 

 

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant was discharged as unsuitable under the provisions 
of Air Force Manual 39-12, Separation for Unsuitability, 
Misconduct, Personal Abuse of Drugs; Resignation or Request for 
Discharge for the Good of the Service; and Procedures for the 
Rehabilitation Program. The relevant facts pertaining to the 
applicant’s discharge are contained in the discharge case file at 
Exhibit B. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts 
in this Record of Proceedings. 

 

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI) provided a copy of an Investigative Report, 
which is at Exhibit C. On 10 Jun 11, a copy of the FBI report 
and a request for post-service information 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).

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. After careful 
consideration of the available evidence, we found no indication 
that the actions taken to effect his discharge were improper or 
contrary to the provisions of the governing regulations in effect 
at the time, or that the actions taken against the applicant were 
based on factors other than his own misconduct. In addition, in 
view of the contents of the FBI Report of Investigation record, 
we are not persuaded that the characterization of the applicant’s 
discharge warrants an upgrade to honorable on the basis of 
clemency. Having found no error or injustice with regard to the 
actions that occurred while the applicant was a military member, 
we conclude that no basis exists to grant favorable action on his 
request. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
