APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He should get an amended copy of his DD 214 and it should read Honorable. He seeks this upgrade to turn it in to the Wounded Warrior Project for consideration in getting a home. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 20 Aug 85, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. On 10 Nov 87, the 14th Judicial Circuit Court provided the following information from Panama City, FL. On 9 Oct 87, the applicant pled guilty to fraudulent use of a credit card. He was sentenced to 2 years’ probation and 200 hours of community service, random drug and alcohol screening and restitution to Sears in the amount of $278.00 and a combined court cost of $738.00. On 22 Dec 87, the applicant received a Letter of Reprimand (LOR) for wrongfully appropriation and use of a credit card to purchase goods from Sears in direct violation of Article 121 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). On 18 Feb 88, the applicant was notified his commander was recommending him for discharge for misconduct under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Separation upon Expiration of Term of Service, for Convenience of Government, Minority, Dependency and Hardship, Chapter 5, paragraph 5-47a. On 24 Feb 88, the Staff Judge Advocate reviewed the case and found it legally sufficient. On 25 Feb 88, the discharge authority approved the applicant for discharge and directed he receive a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge, without probation and rehabilitation. On 1 Mar 88, the applicant was furnished a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge, and was credited with 2 years, 6 months, and 12 days of active service. A request for post-service information was forwarded to the applicant on 22 Jul 15 for review and comment within 30 days. 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 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 are sufficiently meritorious to overcome the misconduct for which he was discharged. 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.
