RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05348

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded 
to honorable.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He had several conflicts with his new supervisor that resulted 
in him to unfairly receive countless letters of reprimand (LOR) 
and be charged with being absent without leave when he was 
actually at a random drug screening.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s military personnel records, he 
initially entered the Regular Air Force on 24 Aug 84 and served 
on active duty until 12 Nov 87, when he was furnished a general 
(under honorable conditions) discharge for misconduct – pattern 
of discreditable involvement with civil or military authorities.  
He was credited with three years, two months, and three days of 
total active service, but charged with lost time during the 
period 20 Sep 87 through 6 Oct 87.  A copy of the applicant’s 
discharge package is not available; therefore, the circumstances 
surrounding his discharge could not be verified.  

On 27 Jun 14, a request for post-service information was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days.  In response, the applicant provides copies of two 
supporting statements and an expanded personal statement 
describing his activities since leaving the service.




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 this case; however, we find no evidence or an error or 
injustice that occurred during the discharge processing.  We 
note the applicant’s military personnel records do not include a 
copy of the discharge package for our review.  Therefore, the 
facts surrounding his separation and character of service could 
not be verified.  However, based on the presumption of 
regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs, absent 
evidence to the contrary, we must assume that his discharge, to 
include his service characterization and narrative reason for 
separation, were proper and in compliance with the directive 
under which it was effected.  In the interest of justice, we 
considered upgrading the discharge based on clemency; however, 
we do not find the evidence presented sufficient to conclude 
that his contributions to his community since leaving the 
service are sufficient to overcome the misconduct for which he 
was discharged.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the 
contrary, we find no basis to recommend favorable consideration 
of the 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.
