ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03743 COUNSEL: NONE XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to honorable. ________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 30 May 2013, the Board considered and denied a similar appeal. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s request and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F (with Exhibits A through E). In a letter, dated 5 Apr 2013, the applicant submitted post service information for reconsideration. He included a personal statement and numerous character letters, certificates of appreciation and various other documents in support of his request. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit H. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: After careful reconsideration of all the facts and circumstances of the applicant’s case, along with the additional documentation provided, it appears that the applicant has been a productive member of society since leaving the service. Accordingly, we believe it would be an injustice for him to continue to suffer the adverse effects of the discharge he received over 10 years ago. Therefore, we believe an upgrade of the characterization of his service to honorable is warranted on the basis of clemency. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 13 Dec 2002, he was honorably discharged and furnished an Honorable Discharge certificate. ________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 12 Jun 2013, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the record as recommended.
