RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-02452
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: Veterans Affairs
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests his undesirable discharge be changed to general (under
honorable conditions) or honorable and the reason for discharge be changed
to convenience of the service. Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's request on
9 March 1950 (Exhibit B). 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. On 22 January
1999, the AFBCMR requested the applicant provide post-service documentation
and his submission is at Exhibit E.
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 AFDRB
brief and advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and
have not been adequately rebutted by applicant. The only other basis to
warrant an upgrade of his discharge would be on clemency. However, after
reviewing his overall service record and the documentation pertaining to
his post-service conduct, we do not believe an upgrade is justified based
on clemency. 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 Mr. Terry A. Yonkers, Mr. Clarence D. Long, III, and
Ms. Rita J. Maldonado considered this application on 9 March 1999, on
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the
governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
