RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-00277
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests that his
undesirable discharge be upgraded to general based on clemency.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was discharged with an undesirable discharge on 22 October
1952. He served 2 years and 2 months of total active duty service.
On 6 February 2003, the applicant submitted an application requesting his
discharge be upgraded to general under honorable conditions. On 2 April
2003, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s request. A complete
copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit G.
The applicant submitted a letter dated 4 July 2003, requesting that his
undesirable discharge be upgraded to general based on clemency. In support
of his request, he provided a letter from his daughter, his son, and a
character reference letter signed by three people. His complete
submission, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit H.
______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings in this case, the Board found that the applicant’s
discharge was neither erroneous nor unjust and was proper based on the
facts and circumstances of his case at that time. However, the applicant
was specifically invited to provide information pertaining to his post-
service accomplishments for possible reconsideration of his request based
on clemency. We have reviewed the applicant’s most recent submission and
affirm our findings that no error occurred in the discharge actions taken
in this case. However, we find the evidence provided substantiates that in
the intervening years since his separation, the applicant has become a
useful and productive member of his community. We also considered the fact
that the applicant’s service was characterized as “excellent” prior to the
commission of the one offense that led to his separation. While not
condoning the misbehavior, it appears to us that the misconduct was an
isolated episode rather than an indication of his true character and that
it was based on youthful immaturity and unfortunate associations. In view
of the foregoing, we believe clemency is warranted in this case and are of
the opinion that the applicant’s discharge should be upgraded to general
(under honorable conditions).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 22 October 1952, he was
discharged with service characterized as general (under honorable
conditions).

His discharge has bothered him for years -- he is now 71. They further stated since his civil court conviction, his attitude towards his work and responsibilities was intolerable. Should the applicant provide such evidence, we would be willing to reconsider his request for recharacterization of his discharge.
