RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00774
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NO
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 5 SEP 06
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His other than honorable discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was young and made a big mistake. He wants to upgrade his discharge
to honorable. He has grown up a lot since then.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Available records indicate the applicant entered active duty
10 January 1954 and was discharged with an other than honorable
discharge on 10 April 1959 in the grade of airman basic.
The remaining applicant’s military personnel records were destroyed by
fire in 1973. Therefore, the facts surrounding his service in the Air
Force cannot be verified.
Pursuant to the Board's request for information, the Federal Bureau of
Information (FBI) indicated that, on the basis of the information
provided, they were unable to locate an arrest record pertaining to
the applicant (see Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Air Force was not able to evaluate this application due to
nonavailability of personnel records.
_________________________________________________________________
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. The only other
basis upon which to upgrade his discharge would be based on clemency.
However, applicant has failed to provide documentation pertaining to
his post service activities. Should he provide documentary evidence
pertaining to his post service activities we would be willing to
reconsider his appeal. 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.

(4) On or about 23 January 1980, applicant willfully disobeyed a lawful command from a superior commissioned officer, to return to his office. A FBI Report was forwarded to the applicant on 7 January 2005 for review and response within 15 days. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his discharge should be upgraded to honorable.
