She was placed in jail when she refused his sexual advances. She was discharged 30 years ago and her narrative reason has haunted her and left a stain on her name. The applicant provides no documentation in support of her appeal. The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 14 August 1980. The applicant was notified by her commander on 25 February 1981, of his intent to recommend her discharge from the Air Force under the provisions of AFM 39-12. The reason for this action was the applicant’s apathy, defective attitude, and inability to expend efforts constructively as shown by her downward trend in duty performance. The specific reasons are as follows: a. The applicant did on or about 4 November 1980 to 5 February 1981 receive numerous counseling’s for not doing assigned details; failure to repair to mandatory GI party, failure to report to school formation and failure to repair to PC formation; slow progress on 8 Groups Per Minute (GPM), International Morse Code (IMC); failure to repair to CQ duty; sleeping in class; failure to pass or progress on 10 GPM, IMC; failure to report to morning and afternoon formation and she did not work on that particular day; failures to obey a lawful order of a commissioned officer. b. The applicant did on or about 5 December 1980, 30 January 1981 and 5 February 1981 receive nonjudicial punishments under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for failures to go at the time prescribed to her appointed place of duty and failure to obey a lawful order. An evaluation officer reviewed the case and recommended the applicant be issued an honorable discharge. In a legal review of the case file, the chief, civil law division found the case legally sufficient and recommended discharge. The discharge authority concurred with the recommendation and directed an honorable discharge. The applicant was discharged on 15 May 1981. She served 9 months and 2 days on active duty. _________________________________________________________________ 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 find no evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in the discharge process. We find the narrative reason for separation that was issued at the time of the applicant’s separation accurately reflects the circumstances of her separation. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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. _________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-04676 in Executive Session on 7 June 2012, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2011-04676 was considered: Exhibit A.
