AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-00364A
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: AMERICAN LEGION
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant's request for reconsideration, he requests his under other
than honorable conditions (undesirable) discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 February 1965, as an
airman basic for a period of four years. He was discharged 3 April 1967,
with an under other than honorable conditions (undesirable) discharge in
accordance with Air Force Manual (AFM) 39-12. He served 2 years, 1 month
and 18 days of active service.
The applicant's request to have his discharge upgraded was considered and
denied by the Board on 22 July 2004. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the applicant's request to have his discharge
upgraded, and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the
Record of Proceedings, with attachments, at Exhibit H.
On 20 August 2004, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration to
have his other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge upgraded. On 15
September 2004, the Board staff reviewed the applicant’s request and
notified him that it did not meet the criteria for reconsideration by the
Board (Exhibit I).
On 25 February 2005, the applicant’s counsel submitted documentation
requesting reconsideration to have the applicant’s UOTHC (undesirable)
discharge upgraded (Exhibit J).
On 23 March 2005, the Board staff provided the applicant’s counsel with a
copy of the applicant’s case file and informed him the applicant’s request
was being processed for reconsideration (Exhibit K).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After careful consideration of the applicant’s reconsideration request and
the documentation submitted in support of his appeal, we are not persuaded
to override the Board's original decision. The applicant’s contentions are
duly noted, however, the Board finds no impropriety in the characterization
of 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
applicant was not afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of
discharge. We therefore conclude the discharge was appropriate to the
existing circumstances. The applicant has submitted evidence of his post-
service accomplishments and while we commend him on his activities, we do
not find this evidence sufficiently persuasive to warrant clemency.
Therefore, in view of the foregoing, 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 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.
