STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 2 Jul 03. 
The applicant was notified by his commander that he was 
recommending him for discharge from the Air Force under the 
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.49. The 
specific reasons for this action were: failing his dormitory 
inspection; pleading guilty in municipal court to possession of 
alcohol and not having a current registration (his blood alcohol 
content of .076 concluded he was drinking and driving under age); 
being cited for not having auto insurance; failing to report for 
duty; failing to obey a lawful order by operating a motorcycle. 
He received several Letters of Reprimand (LORs). After a legal 
review, the applicant’s case was found legally sufficient. The 
applicant received a general discharge on 30 May 06 after serving 
2 years, 10 months, and 28 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 


 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. The applicant’s misconduct in this 
case clearly outweighs the positive aspects of his service. 
Additionally, according to the governing instructions a general 
discharge is appropriate when “significant negative aspects of 
the airman’s military record.” Therefore, based on the 
documentation in his master personnel records, the discharge to 
include his narrative reason for separation was consistent with 
the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge 
instruction and was within the discharge authority’s discretion. 

 

The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. Based on the applicant’s 
involuntary general discharge, the “2B” RE code is required per 
AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF. The applicant does not 
provide any proof of an error or injustice with regard to his RE 
code. 

 

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

of this date, this office has received no response.

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 agree with the opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt 
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 


will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
