RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2001-03042
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable based on clemency.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in 1973.
Therefore, the facts surrounding his separation from military service
cannot be verified.
Based on available documentation, the applicant, while serving in the
grade of private, was discharged from the Air Force on 16
September 1949 under the provisions of Army Regulation 615-369
(unsuitability) and received a general (under honorable conditions)
discharge. He served 11 months and 18 days of total active military
service.
On 10 April 2002, the applicant’s request for his general discharge
be upgraded to honorable was considered and denied by the Board, see
the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.
On 22 November 2003, the applicant now requests his general discharge
be upgraded to honorable based on clemency, he provides a personal
statement and a letter supporting his post-service activities. The
applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an injustice. While the applicant has provided no
evidence to show that his discharge was improper or not in compliance
with appropriate directives, the Board is of the opinion that relief
is warranted. It appears the applicant has led a stable and
productive life for over 50 years and there is no evidence that he has
had any subsequent serious involvement of a derogatory nature since
his separation from the Air Force. In light of the above and on the
basis of clemency, we believe his discharge should be upgraded to
honorable. Accordingly, we recommend that his records be corrected as
indicated below.
_______________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of his
discharge on 16 September 1947, he was honorably discharged and
furnished an Honorable Discharge certificate.
