ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00260 INDEX CODE: 110.00 XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ______________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 15 May 2008, the Board considered and denied a similar appeal. For an accounting of the facts surrounding the applicant’s previous request and the rationale of the Board's earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit H. In his appeal for reconsideration, applicant provides a statement in which he discusses the events as they transpired during his period of service. In support of his appeal, he provided character reference statements and certificates of training. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit I. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: After reconsideration of the applicant’s appeal and the additional documentation provided, we believe it is likely he has overcome the behavioral traits which led to the discharge action and he has led a stable and productive life since the separation. We recognize the adverse impact of the discharge he received; and, while it may have been appropriate at the time, we believe it would be an injustice for him to continue to suffer its effects. Accordingly, we find that corrective action is appropriate on the basis of clemency and recommend the records be corrected as indicated below. ________________________________________________________________ _ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 31 March 1995, he was discharged with service characterized as general (under honorable conditions). ________________________________________________________________ _ The Board voted to correct the records, as recommended.
