RESUME OF CASE

On 20 June 1991, the  Board  considered  applicant’s  9  January  1991
application requesting  his  under  other  than  honorable  conditions
(UOTHC) discharge be upgraded.  A  complete  copy  of  the  Record  of
Proceedings is attached at Exhibit F.

On 17 October 1995, applicant submitted a request for  reconsideration
of his application for correction of his military  records.   After  a
thorough review of the documentation provided  by  the  applicant  his
reconsideration request was denied.  (Exhibit G)

On 28 May  2000,  applicant  submitted  a  DD  149  with  attachments,
requesting his discharge be upgraded.  (Exhibit H)

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of  investigation,
Washington, D.C., indicated on the basis of the  data  furnished  they
were unable to locate an arrest record (Exhibit I).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to  demonstrate  the
existence   of   probable   error   or   injustice.    After   careful
reconsideration of the applicant’s request, the majority of the  Board
finds no impropriety in the characterization of applicant’s  discharge
on the basis of is overall misconduct.   Applicant’s  contention  that
his post-service conduct warrants clemency is  noted;  however,  post-
service conduct alone is  not  justification  for  an  upgrade;  other
factors are considered such as, the overall quality  of  his  service,
the events which precipitated the discharge,  and  available  evidence
related to post-service activities and accomplishments.   On  balance,
the majority does not believe that clemency is warranted.

_________________________________________________________________

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:

A majority of the  panel  finds  insufficient  evidence  of  error  or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.

_________________________________________________________________

MEMORANDUM FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AIR FORCE BOARD FOR
                          CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS (AFBCMR)


FROM:  SAF/MIB


SUBJECT:  APPLICANT, SSN, AFBCMR Docket Number 91-00800

      I have carefully considered all aspects of this case and do not
agree with the majority of the panel that the applicant’s request
should be denied.

      In arriving at my decision, I noted that while  the  under  other
than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge may have  been  appropriate
at the time, the applicant has suffered the effects of  this  discharge
for over 15 years.  However, it appears he has overcome the  behavioral
traits which may have led to his undesirable discharge and has become a
productive member of society.

      In recognition of the applicant’s post-service efforts,  I  agree
with the minority member  of  the  panel  and  direct  that  his  UOTHC
discharge be upgraded to general  (under  honorable  conditions)  as  a
matter of clemency.

MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF

directed that:
