RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00130
INDEX CODE 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of his appeal are at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
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 at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial. The applicant did not submit any new
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing. He provided no other facts warranting a change
in his discharge. Accordingly, they recommend his records remain the
same and his request be denied. He did not file a timely request.
AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 1 March 2002, for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the
applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his discharge should
be upgraded to honorable. We find no impropriety in the
characterization of the applicant's discharge. It appears that
responsible officials applied appropriate standards in effecting the
separation, and we do not find persuasive evidence that pertinent
regulations were violated or that the applicant was not afforded all
the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge. We conclude,
therefore, that the discharge proceedings were proper and
characterization of the discharge was appropriate to the existing
circumstances. The only other basis upon which to upgrade this
discharge would be based on clemency. However, the applicant 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 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.

On 8 Jan 04, the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) considered and denied the applicant’s request to have his general discharge upgraded to honorable. ___________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2006-02444 in Executive Session...
We conclude, therefore, that the discharge proceedings were proper and characterization of the discharge was appropriate to the existing circumstances. We also find insufficient evidence to warrant a recommendation that the discharge be upgraded on the basis of clemency. Exhibit B.
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. Although there is no indication in the evidence provided that the applicant’s service characterization was erroneous or unjust at the time he was separated, it is our opinion that the evidence provided is sufficient to warrant the approval of the requested relief based on clemency. We therefore recommend that...

He was separated from the Air Force on 15 July 2002. However, after reviewing the applicant’s request and the evidence of record, we find the narrative reason for his entry- level separation; i.e., entry-level performance and conduct, to be overly harsh.

BRADLEY Panel Chair AFBCMR 02-02326 MEMORANDUM FOR THE CHIEF OF STAFF Having received and considered the recommendation of the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records and under the authority of Section 1552, Title...
AF | BCMR | CY2003 | BC-2003-02724
He received an honorable discharge and desires to reenter the Air Force. The reason for this action was because he failed his CDC on 20 June and 5 October 2001, scoring 64%, and 61% -- the minimum passing score was 65%. Additionally, we note that the applicant’s assigned RE code of 3A is a code that can be waived for prior service enlistment consideration, provided he meets all other requirements for enlistment under an existing prior service program.
