RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01324
COUNSEL: No
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served honorably and received the Air Force Good Conduct Medal, served
a remote tour, and became a crew chief as an airman first class. He
believes that his service record reflects his honorable service and his
discharge should be changed as well.
In support of his appeal, applicant has provided a copy of his DD Form
214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant's military personnel records have been destroyed by fire in
1973. Therefore, the relevant facts surrounding his discharge are not
available. Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 31 January
1980 and was separated on 29 July 1983. He received a general discharge
(Admitted Homosexual or Bisexual) and an reenlistment eligibility (RE)
code of 2K. He served 3 years, 5 months and 29 days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Air Force was not able to evaluate this application due to
nonavailability of personnel records.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant was notified on 23 May 2003 of nonavailability of records to
evaluate his request.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. Based upon the presumption of
regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to
the contrary, we must assume that the applicant's discharge was proper
and in compliance with appropriate directives. We find no evidence of
error in this case and after thoroughly reviewing the documentation that
has been submitted in support of applicant's appeal, we do not believe he
has suffered from an injustice. 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.

DPSFM states that the applicant began FY03 with 47 days of leave and would have accrued 17.5 days of leave by his retirement date of 30 April 2003 for a total balance of 64.5 available days of leave. Therefore the government is owed for the 5.5 days of extra leave the applicant took as part of his terminal leave.
