RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-00563
INDEX NUMBER:110.02
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 Air Force
Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) Hearing Record. Accordingly, there
is no need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFDRB considered and denied applicant’s request for upgrade of his
discharge to honorable. A copy of the AFDRB Hearing Record is at
Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the AFDRB Hearing Record was forwarded to the applicant
for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable injustice warranting change of
applicant’s general (under honorable conditions) discharge to
honorable. We found no evidence that responsible officials applied
inappropriate standards in effecting the applicant’s discharge,
that pertinent regulations were violated or that the applicant was
not afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of
discharge. Nevertheless, in reviewing the applicant’s overall
record of performance, with over 18 years of service, the fact that
this was a one-time incident, and the qualification statement by
his squadron commander, the Board believes that an upgrade of the
discharge is warranted based on clemency. In the absence of any
other derogatory information in his record, we believe it would be
an injustice for the applicant to continue to suffer the adverse
effects of the discharge. Furthermore, although not requested by
the applicant, based on his over 18 years of satisfactory service,
we recommend that the reason for separation and the corresponding
separation code also be changed, and that his Reenlistment
Eligibility (RE) code be changed to 3K, which is a code that can be
waived for prior service enlistment consideration, provided he is
otherwise qualified for enlistment under an existing prior service
program. We believe these actions provide the applicant fitting
and proper relief. 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 23 September
1998, he was honorably discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, paragraph 1.2, (Secretarial Authority), with Separation
Program Designator (SPD) code “KFF,” and Reenlistment Eligibility
