AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02751 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge be upgraded 
to Honorable. 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Enough time has passed that she should be considered for an 
upgrade to her discharge. She was young at the time and made an 
error in not making the Air Force a lifetime career. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate she enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 31 Jul 89. 

 

On 16 Nov 90, the applicant was furnished a General (Under 
Honorable Conditions) discharge under the provisions of AFR 39-
10, Administrative Separation of Airmen, for Misconduct-Pattern 
Conduct Prejudicial To Good Order and Discipline, and was 
credited with 1 year, 3 months, and 16 days of total active 
service. 

 

On 10 Dec 12, a request for post-service information was 
forwarded to the applicant; however, 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 on the basis of 
clemency; however, in the absence of any evidence related to the 
applicant’s activities since leaving the service, we find no 
basis to recommend the relief sought on that basis. Therefore, 
in view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the 
contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to grant the relief 
sought in this application. 

 

 ____________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
