RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-02546
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
Applicant requests his undesirable discharge be upgraded to general under
honorable conditions. Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's request to
have his discharge upgraded to general on 19 March 1980 (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). Applicant's response to the advisory
opinion 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 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 Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Mr. John E. Pettit, and Mr.
Joseph A. Roj considered this application on 8 April 1999 in accordance
with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing
statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

It appears that the responsible officials applied appropriate standards in effecting the separation, and we do not find persuasive evidence that pertinent regulations were violated or that applicant was not afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge. Under our broader mandate and after careful consideration of all the facts and circumstances of applicant's case, the majority of the Board is persuaded the applicant has been a productive member of society. Applicant's...
The applicant did not identify any specific errors in the discharge processing nor provide facts that warrant an upgrade of his discharge he received. We also find insufficient evidence to warrant a recommendation that the discharge be upgraded on the basis of clemency. Exhibit B.
