IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 94-10333
INDEX CODE: A64.00
COUNSEL: THE AMERICAN LEGION
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
By amendment, his undesirable discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF THE CASE:
On 16 Nov 94, the Board considered and denied an application for
correction of military records pertaining to the applicant, in which
he requested that his undesirable discharge be upgraded to general. A
complete copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit C
(with Exhibit A).
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, West Virginia, provided a copy of an investigation report,
which is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has been disabled from heart disease for the last three years. He
has not been able to work and is on social security disability.
The applicant's complete submission, which includes documentation
pertaining to his criminal history, is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable injustice warranting corrective action. In
earlier findings, we determined that there was insufficient evidence
to warrant any corrective action regarding the applicant’s request for
upgrade of his undesirable discharge to general. He now requests that
his discharge be upgraded to honorable. No evidence has been
presented which would lead us to believe his discharge was improper or
contrary to the directive under which it was effected. However, we
note that the applicant was discharged in 1966. Furthermore, it
appears that he has made a successful transition to civilian life.
Therefore, we believe that to continue to stigmatize him with a
undesirable discharge would be unduly harsh and serves no purpose. We
do not believe an honorable discharge is warranted due to the limited
documentation provided by the applicant regarding his activities since
his discharge from the service. However, in view of the passage of
time and the applicant’s post-service adjustment, we are of the
opinion that upgrading the applicant’s discharge to general, based on
clemency, would be appropriate. Accordingly, we recommend that the
applicant’s undesirable discharge be upgraded to general.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 31 Oct 66, he
was discharged with service characterized as general (under honorable
conditions).
