RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-03451
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told his general discharge would be upgraded.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in 1973.
Therefore, the facts surrounding his service and separation from the Air
Force cannot be verified.
Based on available documentation, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force
as an airman basic on 7 February 1957 for a period of four years. The
applicant was involuntarily discharged under the provision of AFR 39-16
(Discharge of Airmen During Their First Enlistment - Unsuitability) with
service characterized as general (under honorable conditions) discharge on
12 June 1958 in the grade of airman basic. He served one year, four months
and six days of total active military service.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the FBI provided a copy of an
Investigative Report pertaining to the applicant, which is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
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:
A FBI Report was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within
15 days.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Based upon the presumption of regularity
in the conduct of governmental affairs and without persuasive evidence that
would lead us to believe otherwise, we must assume that the applicant's
discharge was proper and in compliance with appropriate directives. The
only other basis upon which to upgrade his discharge would be based on
clemency. However, in view of the contents of the FBI report, we are not
persuasive that his discharge warrants an upgrade based on clemency.
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.
