Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 June 2002.  He 
was progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman (SRA) 
with an effective and date of rank (DOR) of 4 June 2005.    On 
21 May 2007, the applicant’s commander recommended his discharge 
for misconduct – minor disciplinary infractions.  His commander 
cited writing a bad check on 18 November 2006, in the amount of 
$28.08 for which on 27 March 2007, he was arrested and received 
a letter of reprimand (LOR); a 15 March 2007 LOR for failure to 
report fur duty; an Article 15 on 7 March 2007, for failure to 
pay his government travel card in the amount of $3,200.00 and 
failure to pay the Air Force Aid Society in the amount of 
$2,410.00.  His punishment consisted of reduction in grade to 
airman first class (A1C), suspended through 21 September 2007 
unless sooner vacated, forfeiture of $864.00 suspended through 
20 September 2007 unless sooner vacated, and restriction to 
Eglin AFB for 60 days.  On 1 June 2007, the commander’s intent 
was found legally sufficient.  On 6 June 2007, his commander 
directed he be discharged with a general (Under Honorable 
Conditions) discharge.  He was discharged, effective 11 June 
2007 after having served for five years and eight days.

failed to provide any evidence of a CLRP guarantee.  
Additionally, he was serving in his second enlistment and with 
full knowledge of the program, failed to act promptly.

DPSOA’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

applicant on 5 October 2007 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 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 office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
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 compelling 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.
