RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-03188
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under other than honorable discharge be upgraded to general.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The characterization of his discharge is not an error and understands that
he wasn’t the best airman in the Air Force. He has grown quite a bit since
his discharge and holds a respectful job. His wife and children deserve
the best he can give them and this is the reason for wanting to upgrade his
discharge.
In support of his application, applicant provides a copy of his AF Form
973, Request and Authorization for Change of Administrative Orders and AF
Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation. His application is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to his discharge are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS reviewed the application and recommends denial. DPPRS states
that the applicant provided no facts warranting an upgrade of his
discharge. Based upon the documentation on file, DPPRS believes the
discharge was consistent with procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge regulation.
The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 20
December 2002 for review and response within 30 days. As of this date,
this office has received no response (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 thoroughly reviewing the evidence
of record, 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
member was not afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of his
discharge. 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. Therefore, based on the available
evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

_________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Because the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) upgraded his discharge from “Under Honorable Conditions (General)” to “Honorable,” his reentry code and narrative reason for separation should be changed to allow him to re-enter active military service. The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE reviewed the applicant’s case and concludes that the RE code of 2C is correct. The DPPAE...

He completed 2 years, 11 months, and 28 days of active service. After thoroughly reviewing the available evidence of record and noting the applicant’s complete submission, we find no evidence of error or injustice. We also find insufficient evidence to warrant a recommendation that the discharge be upgraded on the basis of clemency.
