took part in extreme acts of violence, which resulted in work related problems, a no contact order and an attempt to take his own life.  

He denied thoughts of hurting himself in fear of losing his clearance and ending his career.

He has attended counseling and tried to let go; however, severe mental health issues continue to plague his life, ranging from 
remorse, shame, depression, anger, anxiety, and paranoia.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 20 Sep 04, the applicant, a member of the California Air National Guard (CA ANG) reenlisted for a period of six years.

On 17 Sep 10, the applicant was discharged by reason of misconduct - civilian conviction, and was issued an RE code of 
6H.  He was credited with 9 years, 5 months, and 14 days of service for pay, including 8 years of service for retired pay.

Veterans Affairs (DVA) with Psychotic Disorder – Not Otherwise

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/SG recommends denial, stating, in part, that the applicant 
submitted no documentation for review.  The only documentation 
submitted was the BCMR application and his NGB 22, indicating 
his discharge was general (under honorable conditions).  A 
review of the applicant's claims and their requested action is 
not possible due to the lack of documentation.

The complete SG evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 29 Oct 13 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.  The applicant 
has not provided any evidence to establish that he has been the victim of an error or injustice.  Therefore, based upon the 
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the 
applicant's discharge was proper and in compliance with appropriate directives.  Accordingly, we find no basis upon 
which to favorably consider this application.
________________________________________________________________

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.
