AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  5 6 - 0 0 3 9 5 -  
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

APPLICANT REUUESTS THAT: 

His under  other  than  honorable  conditions discharge  (UOTHC) be 
upgraded to honorable. 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be  in error or 
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at 
Exhibit A. 

Pursuant  to  the  Board's  request,  the  applicant  provided 
additional documentation for the Board's consideration which  is 
attached at Exhibit C. 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

Limited  documentation  was  available. 
Therefore,  the  facts 
surrounding the applicant's separation from the Air Force cannot 
be verified. 

Pursuant  to  the  Board's  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of 
Investigation  (FBI), Washington, D.C., provided an investigative 
report which is attached at Exhibit D. 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

The applicant has exhausted a11 remedies provided by existing 

1. 
law or regulations. 
2.  The application was not  timely filed; however, it  is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely filc. 

3.  Sufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate the  existence  of  probable  error  or  injustice.  No 
evidence has been presented which would  lead us to believe his 
discharge was  improper or contrary to the directive under which 
it  was  effected.  Nevertheless, in view of  the passage  of  time 
and the post-service documentation provided by the applicant, we 
believe  the  continued  stigma  of  an  UOTHC  discharge  is  unduly 
harsh and no longer serves any useful purpose.  Therefore, we are 
of  the  opinion  that  upgrading  the  applicant's  discharge  to 
honorable, based on clemency, would be appropriate.  Accordingly, 
we recommend that the applicant's UOTHC discharge be upgraded to 
honorable. 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 5 Apr 57, he 
was  honorably  discharged  and  furnished  an  Honorable  Discharge 
certificate. 

The following members of the Board considered this application in 
Executive  Session  on  26  Jun  9 6   and  2 3   Jun  98,  under  the 
provisions of AFI 36-2603: 

Ms. Ms. Martha Maust, Panel Chair 
Mr. Gregory H. Petkoff, Member 
Ms. Dorothy P. Loeb, Member 

All  members  voted  to correct the  records, as recommended.  The 
following documentary evidence was considered: 

Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, undated, w/atchs. 
Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records. 
Exhibit C.  Letter, applicant, undated, w/atchs. 
Exhibit D.  F B I   Report.
