The Separations Branch, AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed this application and states
that the applicant’s master personnel records indicate his last Airman
Performance Report (APR) was outstanding. In addition, he received the
Army and Air Force Good Conduct Medals and the Vietnam Service Medal during
his previous 7 years of service. They have no objection if the Board
grants applicant’s request based on his overall personnel record.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 14 December 1998, for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest
of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. After reviewing the evidence of
record, we are persuaded that applicant’s discharge should be upgraded. As
noted by the Air Force, applicant’s last performance report was
outstanding, he was awarded the Army and Air Force Good Conduct Medals, and
received the Vietnam Service Medal. In view of applicant’s overall
personnel record, we recommend his 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 7 August 1968, he was honorably
discharged and furnished an Honorable Discharge certificate.
