RESUME OF CASE:

On 23 November  1983,  the  Board  considered  and  denied  the  applicant’s
request to upgrade his bad conduct discharge to an honorable discharge  (TAB
1).

On 26 May 1999 and  12  May  2000,  the  Board  considered  and  denied  the
applicant’s request to upgrade his bad conduct discharge to  either  general
(under honorable conditions) or a medical discharge.   A  complete  copy  of
the Addendum to the Record of Proceedings, with attachments, is attached  at
Exhibit F.

In a letter dated 25 September 2000, the applicant  requests  that  his  bad
conduct discharge (BCD) be changed to a medical discharge.  He  states  that
military authorities did an injustice to him during his stay in  the  United
States Air Force (Exhibit G).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of  probable  error  or  injustice  warranting  either  a  medical
discharge or an  upgrade  of  his  bad  conduct  discharge.   Based  on  the
documentation presented and  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  applicant’s
records were destroyed by  fire  in  1973,  we  find  insufficient  evidence
substantiating that the applicant was not fit at the time of his  discharge.
 In this respect, Title 10, USC, Chapter 61  is  the  federal  statute  that
charges the Service Secretaries with maintaining  a  fit  and  vital  force.
For an individual to be considered unfit for military service there must  be
a medical condition so severe that  it  prevents  performance  of  any  work
commensurate with rank and experience.  As we stated previously, based  upon
the presumption of regularity in the conduct  of  governmental  affairs  and
without evidence to the contrary we must presume the  applicant’s  discharge
was proper

and in compliance with the appropriate directives in place at  the  time  of
his discharge.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we
find no compelling basis to recommend granting the  relief  sought  in  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.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered this application in  Executive
Session on 2 January 2001, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:

    On 12 Apr 04, the Board considered and denied a similar appeal submitted by the applicant. The applicant was sentenced to a bad conduct discharge as the result of a court-martial and it appears his corrected DD Form 214 accurately reflects the reason for his discharge and the characterization of his service. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable consideration of his request.
