_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His discharge be upgraded from General, Under Honorable Conditions, to
Honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Applicant did not present any contentions.
Applicant’s request is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 3
March 1953. He was progressively promoted to the grade of Airman 2nd
Class (A2C/E-3) with an effective date and date of rank of 14 October
1954.
On 12 June 1953, applicant received an Article 15 as a result of an
indecent exposure charge that was changed to a drunk and disorderly
charge. Punishment imposed was reduction from Airman 3rd Class (A3C/E-
2) to Airman Basic (AB/E-1). On 18 July 1955, applicant received
another Article 15 as a result of a drunk and disorderly charge that
resulted in his reduction in grade from A2C to A3C.
On 26 January 1956, applicant received notification that he was being
recommended for discharge due to Enuresis (Bedwetting), frequent
failure to wake-up in the morning, his aggressive attitude, and other
unsuitable behavior. He received a General Under Honorable Conditions
discharge under the provisions of AFR 39-16 (Discharge of Airmen
During Their First Enlistment - Unsuitability). He had served 3
years, 1 month and 24 days and was serving in the grade of A3C when
discharged on 26 April 1956.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS’s recommendation is based on
information in the applicant’s file that indicated that the discharge
was consistent with the procedural requirements of the discharge
regulation of that time. DPPRS notes also that the applicant provided
no evidence of any errors or injustices that occurred during discharge
processing, nor did the applicant provide any facts warranting an
upgrade of the discharge he received.
The 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 8
November 2002, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, there has been no response 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. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted, however, we are not persuaded that his records are in error or
that he has been the victim of an injustice. Therefore, we agree with
the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our
decision that the applicant has failed to establish his burden of
having suffered either an error or injustice. Therefore, in the
absence of persuasive evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

He was never given a physical prior to his discharge from the Air Force. He had served 2 years, 7 months and 13 days on active duty. Evidence of record and medical examinations prior to separation from the Air Force indicate the applicant was fit and medically qualified for continued military service, retention or appropriate separation and did not have any physical or mental defects which would have warranted consideration in the Disability Evaluation System.
