             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-03348
            INDEX CODE:  110.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His  general  (under  honorable  conditions)  discharge   be   upgraded   to
honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or unjust  and
the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts  pertaining  to  this  application,  extracted  from  the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter  prepared  by  the
appropriate office of the Air  Force.  Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Directorate of Personnel Program  Management,  HQ  AFPC/DPPRS,  reviewed
this application and states that  there  are  no  errors  or  irregularities
causing  an  injustice  to  the  applicant.   The  discharge  complies  with
directives in effect at the time of his  discharge.   The  records  indicate
member’s military service was reviewed and  appropriate  action  was  taken.
Applicant did not identify and specific errors  in  the  discharge  process.
However, in view of applicant’s record  of  otherwise  satisfactory  service
with honorable service characterization and the award of three Good  Conduct
Medals, they would  have  no  objection  if  the  Board  grants  applicant’s
request for an upgrade of his discharge to honorable.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the  Air  Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  applicant  on  15
February 1999, for review and response within 30 days.  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  applicant’s
overall  record,  we  believe  the  general  (under  honorable   conditions)
discharge was harsh.  The Air Force states that they  would  not  object  if
the Board upgrades applicant’s discharge based on his  record  of  otherwise
satisfactory service with honorable service characterization and  the  award
of three Good Conduct  Medals.   Therefore,  we  recommend  the  applicant's
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected  to  show  that  on  9  September  1957,  he  was
honorably discharged and furnished an Honorable Discharge certificate.
