RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00056 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded to honorable or general (under honorable conditions). He be provided a copy of his discharge packet. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He served his country during peacetime and war with the utmost integrity and honor. He received multiple honorable discharges from active duty. His discharge was unnecessary because his military record was otherwise unblemished and other options for discipline were not explored. He was unaware that he could dispute this action. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted in the Air Force Reserve on 30 November 1988 for a period of six years. According to the applicant’s military personnel records, he was on extended active duty during the periods of 27 March 1989 through 28 July 1989, 19 December 1990 through 10 June 1991, and 29 July 1991 through 1 November 1991. He was honorably released from each active duty assignment and transferred to the Air Force Reserve. On 5 November 1994, he re-enlisted in the Air Force Reserve for a period of 6 years. According to AFRC/A1KK, the applicant was furnished an UOTHC discharge from the Air Force Reserve in 1998. On 6 August 2015, a request for post-service information was forwarded to applicant for comment within 30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit E). The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFRC/A1K recommends denial. In accordance with the AFRC/A1KK discharge database that archives various discharge processing information and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3209, Separation and Retirement Procedures for Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Members, the applicant’s discharge characterization was in compliance and no correction to his military record is required. He was discharged from the reserve under AFI 36-3209 for a pattern of misconduct. Specifically, the applicant was issued a discharge with an UOTHC characterization of service for the unauthorized uses of his government travel card. He was mailed a formal notification of the discharge action and has not provided documentation which substantiates a change to his discharge. A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 17 February 2015 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 probable error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of this case; however, we find no evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the discharge process. We note the applicant’s military personnel records are not available for our review. However, based on the presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs, absent evidence to the contrary, we must assume the applicant’s discharge, to include his service characterization and narrative reason for separation, were proper and in compliance with the directive under which it was effected. Other than his own assertions, the applicant has presented no evidence to indicate otherwise. We considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, in the absence of any evidence of a successful post-service transition, we are not inclined to recommend granting relief upon this basis. We further note the applicant’s request he be provided a copy of his discharge packet; however, this request is outside the purview of the Board. In view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. 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.
