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 applicants 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 applicants
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 applicants 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
applicants 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. The applicant has not provided any evidence showing that the imposing commanders or the reviewing authority abused their discretionary authority, that his substantial rights were violated during the processing of the Article 15 punishments, or that the punishments...
On 04 May 2000, the applicant appeared and testified, with counsel, before the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB). Evidence of record reflects that the applicant’s bad conduct discharge was upgraded by the Air Force Discharge Review Board to under other than honorable conditions on the basis of clemency.

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.
