RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03687
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was young and immature when he entered the service. After he came home
from Vietnam he began to drink heavily and went Absent Without Leave on two
(2) different occasions. He drank heavily to deal with his mortality. He
is now 57 years old and realizes how his past has affected his future. He
has matured and realizes that he would like to have his discharge upgraded.
In support of his request the applicant provides a personal statement, copy
of his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge and a copy of his Application for the Review of Discharge or
Dismissal From the Armed Forces of the United States.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 18 August 1964, the applicant enlisted in the United States Air Force.
On 14 December 1967, the applicant was discharged with an under other than
honorable conditions discharge under the provisions of Air Force Regulation
39-21 (Attrition, Unsuitability - Character and Behavior). He served 3
years, 3 months and 27 days of total active service with no time lost.
The remaining 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.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied. DPPRS states that the
applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in his discharge process. Based upon the documentation in
his records, DPPRS believes the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation (see
Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 5
April 2002 for review and response. As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. After careful consideration of the
applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we see no
evidence of an error or injustice that would warrant corrective action.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. The only other basis upon which to upgrade his discharge would
be based on clemency. However, the applicant has failed to provide
documentation pertaining to his post-service activities. Should he provide
documentary evidence pertaining to his post-service activities we would be
willing to reconsider his appeal. In the absence of such evidence,
favorable action is not recommended.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of 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.
