AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 73-3381
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests that his
undesirable discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 13 May 1974.
For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
applicant’s separation, and, the rationale for the earlier decision by the
Board, see Exhibit F.
On 21 August 2002, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration,
contending that he was underage and influenced by the wrong crowd. The
influence of alcohol and his age were contributing factors that led to his
condition. He was informed that he would retain his Veteran’s benefits and
feels he did not receive adequate counsel. He has been a productive
citizen and has not had any problems with the law. He has maintained a 44-
year career in papermaking and is an active volunteer in his community.
For many years, he has been a volunteer chaplain and offers his services to
those in need. To support his request, the applicant provided a personal
statement, character references, a copy of his DD Form 214 and an
endorsement letter from the Orange County Veterans Service. The
applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit G.
On 17 September 2002, the Federal Bureau of Investigation was unable to
identify an arrest record for the applicant.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings, the Board determined that there was insufficient
evidence to warrant an upgrade of the applicant’s discharge based on
clemency. After a careful reconsideration of his request and his most
recent submission, we find it sufficiently compelling to warrant a revision
of the Board’s earlier determination in this case. In view of the
applicant’s successful transition to civilian life, as evidenced by the
post-service documentation he has provided, we believe that it would be an
injustice for him to continue to suffer the adverse effects of his
undesirable discharge. Therefore, on the basis of clemency, we believe an
upgrade of discharge to honorable is warranted.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 12 March 1957 he was honorably
discharged and furnished an Honorable Discharge certificate.

On 21 May 2002, the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) considered and denied the applicant’s request to upgrade his under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge to a honorable. However, his request that his special court-martial conviction be expunged from his records was beyond the jurisdiction of the Board (Exhibits A-F). The majority notes the post-service documentation submitted; however, they are not persuaded the information warrants a...
For this incident, he was ordered to be restricted to the limits of his squadron area for a period of sixty (60) days and to forfeit fifty dollars ($50) of his pay. On 19 November 1954, 3 August 1955 and 23 June 1958, the Air Force Discharge Review Board considered and denied the applicant’s requests for a discharge upgrade. On 12 July 2002, a letter from Congressman Markey’s office requesting assistance in upgrading applicant’s discharge was received by this office (Exhibit G).

Applicant was considered and selected for promotion to the grade of major on 1 September 2002 by the CY01A CSB. Although the report should have been filed in the applicant’s Officer Selection Record (OSR), they do not believe the missing report revealed significant accomplishments that would have influenced the board members’ decision, especially since he was selected for promotion to major without the report.
