IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 86-02561
INDEX NUMBER: 110.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His undesirable discharge be upgraded to general.
___________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
The applicant submitted an application to the AFBCMR on 24 March
1986 to upgrade his discharge. The Board denied his application on
25 September 1986 due to untimeliness (Exhibit E).
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He informed his recruiting officer that he had the juvenile record
that he was later discharged for concealing.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit F.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force (Exhibit C).
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record
of Proceedings. Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Clarksburg, WV, provided a Report of
Investigation pertaining to applicant (Exhibit G).
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF FBI REPORT:
The applicant responded to the information contained in his FBI
report. He states that he has not been in any trouble since 1975.
He maintains that he is not guilty of the offenses dated after 1975
listed in the report because he was still in prison. The applicant
also states that the information in the report should not make any
difference in regards to his request. He states that he is aware
of individuals who got their discharges upgraded who have committed
more serious crimes than his and also while still in prison.
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit I.
___________________________________________________________________
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. Although the
evidence presented does not substantiate that the applicant’s
discharge was improper or contrary to the provisions of the
governing regulation, the majority of the Board felt that he should
be granted clemency. They noted that the last entry in the
applicant’s FBI report was in 1978 and that he had several letters
of support from individuals in his local community. It also
appears that he is an ordained minister. Based on the amount of
time that has passed since the applicant was in any type of trouble
and the fairly constructive life that he has led since, the
majority of the Board recommends that the record 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 29 July 1955 he
was discharged under the provisions of Air Force Regulation 39-14
(Convenience of the Government) with service characterized as
general.
