RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-03365
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His undesirable discharge be upgraded to general.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was under the impression his original discharge document reflected
a general discharge.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD Form
214 (Exhibit A).
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Information extracted from the applicant’s DD Form 214 reveals that he
contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force for a period of
four years on 26 Sep 51. The applicant received an undesirable
discharge on 9 Feb 53 under the provisions of AFR 39-17 (Unfitness).
He had completed 10 months and 19 days of active duty service and was
serving in the grade of airman basic (E-1) at the time of discharge.
He had lost time of 175 days.
Applicant's military personnel records are unavailable; therefore, the
facts surrounding his separation from the Air Force cannot be
verified.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, WV, provided an investigative report which is attached at
Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Separations Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPRS, stated that the applicant did
not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the discharge processing. Since his discharge occurred
over 48 years ago and considering he was only 19 years old at the
time, DPPRS recommended clemency. If a Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) check proves negative, DPPRS recommended his
discharge be upgraded to under honorable conditions (general) (Exhibit
D).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluation and the FBI report were forwarded
to the applicant on 6 Apr 01 and 18 Apr 01 respectively for review and
response. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. Based upon the
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs and
without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the applicant's
discharge was proper and in compliance with appropriate directives.
In addition, in view of the contents of the FBI Identification Record,
we are not persuaded that the characterization of the applicant's
discharge warrants an upgrade to general on the basis of clemency.
Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis
upon which to favorably consider this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
