 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1999-01521 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His general discharge be upgraded to honorable. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

RESUME OF CASE: 

 

The applicant was discharged from the Regular Air Force on 16 Jul 
97 for a pattern of misconduct, conduct prejudicial to good order 
and discipline. He received three Records of Individual 
Counseling, a Letter of Reprimand, and an Article 15, and was 
placed on the Unfavorable Information File. Additionally, the 
applicant failed his Career Development Course End of Course 
examination twice. 

 

On 17 Sep 99, the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) 
considered the applicant’s request to upgrade his general 
discharge to honorable; however, they denied his request 
concluding that the discharge was consistent with the procedural 
and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was 
within the discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant 
was provided full due process. 

 

On 23 Feb 00, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s 
request to upgrade his general discharge stating the facts and 
opinions given by the AFDRB were based on the evidence of record 
and were not rebutted by the applicant. A complete copy of the 
Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit E. 

 

By DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Record 
Under the Provisions of Title 10, U.S. Code, Section 1552, dated 
14 Sep 12, the applicant requests reconsideration of his request. 
The applicant takes full responsibility for his actions while 
serving in the Air Force; however, he does not believe it should 
prohibit him from returning to serve in the military. In a 
separate letter to the Board, the applicant states that it has 
been well over 15 years since his release from active service and 
since being discharged he has grown in character as a person, and 
strengthened his resolve and standing as a contributor and leader 
as a citizen to the United States. He is currently an on-site 
manager with a recruiting agency who manages over 160 employees. 


He has performed civil service work assisting disadvantaged youth 
and received his bachelors’ degree. 

 

In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a personal 
statement and several letters of support. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit F. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was 
insufficient evidence to warrant corrective action of the 
applicant’s request to have his discharge upgraded to honorable. 
After thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted 
in support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not 
believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in the 
previous Board decision. The letters of support and his 
educational achievement are noted; however, we do not find this 
evidence sufficient to warrant favorable consideration. 
Accordingly, his request is not favorably considered. 

 

2. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the additional evidence presented 
did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; 
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; 
and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________

    The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAT provides no recommendation. DPPAT states the AFDRB’s approval to upgrade the applicant’s discharge to honorable does not by itself grant MGIB entitlements. A separation code of KDH – Hardship, allows the VA to provide MGIB benefits to a member based on the number of months he served under honorable conditions.

    Further, since the Article 15 was the sole reason for his discharge and the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) has upgraded his discharge to honorable, the reason for his discharge and RE code should also be changed.

    Applicant's request for upgrade of his discharge to honorable was denied by the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) on 17 September 1973. We reviewed the evidence provided by the applicant in the form of character references and find it insufficient to warrant a recommendation that the discharge be upgraded on the basis of clemency.
