AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
It appeaers that applicant is requesting his records be corrected to
show he was appointed a commissioned officer in 1943. Applicant's
submission is at Exhibit A.
A licant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in
record, an order dated
, reflects applicant, as well as others, had been
rrS, December
eliminated from "Avn/C and Avn/S (air crew) trng" (Exhibit B).
In attempting to reconstruct
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and
provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C).
The advisory opinion was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). As
of this date, no response has been received by this office.
After careful consideration of applicant's request, we found
insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. Based upon the
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs
and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the
events surrounding applicant's elimination from aviation cadet
training were proper and in compliance with appropriate directives.
Therefore, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this
application.
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.
The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and
will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant
evidence which was not reasonably available at the time the
application was filed.
Members of the Board, Messrs. Michael P. Higgins, William E.
Edwards, and Patrick R. Wheeler, considered this application on
1 December 1998 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 3 6 - 2 6 0 3 and the governing statutp, $0 U.S.C. 1552.

The applicant is requesting his records be corrected to reflect he was appointed a second
lieutenant in the Army Air Forces on the basis that he was eliminated from flying training
because of his ethnic affiliation. He has not filed a timely request.
A review of the policies in effect at the time of applicant’s service indicates that
aviation cadets were not automatically considered eligible for a commission. AR 6 15- 160,
5 Nov 42, paragraph 22(a) states, “Selected aviation cadets who successfully complete a
prescribed course of air crew training will be commissioned second lieutenants in the Army of
the United States. All other aviation cadet graduates of air crew training will be appointed flight
officers in the Army of the United States.” However, the applicant states that a Board of Review
eliminated him from flight training for missing a bomb target during a check ride. Although he
believes he was destined to fail because of prejudice, he does not provide statements from
witnesses or other evidence to support his claim. Although we understand the applicant’s desire
to receive the commission he deserves, we find no evidence of error or injustice. Therefore, we
recommend disapproval of his request.
