RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01555
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:
He served in the Berlin Airlift in 1948 with a good record. He also served
as a military policeman with the 7232nd Air Police Squadron in Germany with
a good record. He believes his discharge should be changed to honorable
because he believes he has earned it. He has worked hard all his life
since he was discharged. After 20 years of service, he retired from the
Denver Public Works in September of 1997 with an honest and clean record.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 Sep 47 for a period of
four years. On 13 Mar 50, he received a Summary Court Martial for failure
to repair and on 29 Sep 50, he received a Special Court Martial for drunk
and disorderly. On 18 Aug 51, the applicant was discharge from the Air
Force under the provisions of AFM 39-12 (unfitness) and received a general
(under honorable conditions) discharge. He served 3 years, 9 months and 19
days of active service.
The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) reviewed and upgraded the
applicant's discharge to general on 11 Apr 73.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial. The discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. 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 21 Jun 02, 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. 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, 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 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.
