RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05636 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge be upgraded to an Honorable Discharge. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He cannot take back his past actions, he does not want to have to explain to his children, who may want to join the military, why he does not have an honorable discharge. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 2 July 1984. On 28 May 1985, applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to recommend his discharge for Misconduct for Pattern of Minor Disciplinary Infractions under the provisions of AFR 39-10, paragraph 5-46. The reasons for the action are as follows: on 19 September 1984, the applicant received a Letter of Reprimand for being drunk on station; on 22 March 1985, he received an Article 15 for disorderly conduct, and on 10 May 1985, he was found to again be drunk on station. On 31 May 1985, after consulting with legal counsel, the applicant waived his right to submit statements or rebuttal. On 14 June 1985, the applicant was furnished a general discharge, and was credited with 11 months and 1 day of active service. On 15 October 2014, 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 C). 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 an 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 the service was contrary to the provisions of the governing regulation, unduly harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses committed. In the interest of justice, we considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, in the absence of any evidence related to the applicant’s post-service activities, there is no way for us to determine if the applicant’s accomplishments since leaving the service warrant such consideration. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis 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.
