AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-01863 
COUNSEL:  None 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Fa3 

Applicant requests that his general , under honorable conditions, 
discharge be upgraded to honorable.  Applicant's submission is at 
Exhibit A. 
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 f o r   review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 
After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient evidence of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied  rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

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 Ms. Patricia J. Zarodkiewicz, Mr. William H. 
Anderson, and Mr.  Joseph A.  Roj  considered this application on 
11 February 1999  in accordance with the provisions of Air Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552. n

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPRS 

550 C Street West Ste 11 
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 13 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was discharged fiom the Air Force 12 

Feb 70 under the provisions of AFR 39-12 (Unfitness) and received an undec honorable 
conditions (general) discharge.  He served 02 years 04 months and  12 days total active service. 

Reauested Action.  The applicant is requesting that his discharge be upgraded to honorable. 

Basis for Request.  Applicant does not claim an injustice in the discharge he received over 18 

years ago. 

Facts.  On 12 Jan 70, applicant’s commander recommended that the applicant be considered for 

discharge from the service by reason of unfitness.  Commander’s reasons for his recommended 
action was the applicant’s frequent involvement of discreditable nature with military authorities. 
Specifically, applicant had received two Art 15s for being absence without leave on two different 
occasions.  Had received oral and written reprimands for such infractions as failure to secure 
government property, failure to meet required dormitory inspection standards and two traffic 
citations.  On 15 Jan 70, applicant voluntarily submitted a request to be discharge and indicated in 
his application his entitlement to a board hearing and elected to waive that right.  Applicant 
indicated in his application that he understood that if his application was approved his discharge 
could be an undesirable discharge.  He further indicated that legal counsel had been made 
available to him.  On 11 Feb 70, the discharge authority approved the recommendation for 
discharge for unfitness and directed the applicant be issued an under honorable conditions 
(general) discharge certificate. 

Discussion.  This case has been reviewed and the discharge was consistent with the procedural 
and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the sound discretion of 
the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided full administrative due process.  The 
records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and appropriate action was taken. 

c 

Recommendation.  Applicant did not submit any new evidence or identi@ any errors in the 
discharge processing nor provide facts which warrant an upgrade of the discharge he received. 
Accordingly, we recommend applicant’s request be denied.  He has not filed a timely request.
