AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Separations Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed this application and
recommended the discharge be upgraded to an under honorable conditions
(general) discharge if a check of the FBI files proves negative. A
complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 19
July 1999 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. After reviewing the applicant’s
submission and the evidence of record, we are persuaded that
corrective action is appropriate as a matter of equity and on the
basis of clemency. In this respect, we are in agreement with the
opinion and recommendation of the appropriate Air Force office, HQ
AFPC/DPPRS, that considering applicant’s age and apparent immaturity
at the time of the incidents, the minor nature of his misdeeds and his
stated contributions to society over the past 45 years, his discharge
should be upgraded to general. Accordingly, we recommend that the
records be corrected as 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 1 December 1954,
he was discharged with service characterized as general (under
honorable conditions).

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.
