                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2005-00835
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
      XXXXXXXXXXXXXX   COUNSEL:  NONE

      XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  HEARING DESIRED:  NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  11 SEP 2006


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His undesirable discharge be upgraded to honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was immature and made a mistake, but after 40 years of  marriage  and  35
years of working with the same company has turned his life around.

In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement  and  six
character reference letters.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire  in  1973.
Therefore, the facts surrounding his military service or  separation  cannot
be verified.

Pursuant to the  Board's  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation,
Clarksburg, WV, indicated on April 2005, that  on  the  basis  of  the  data
furnished they were unable to locate an arrest record.  (See Exhibit C)

_________________________________________________________________

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  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 clemency.   However,  documentation  provided
by the applicant in support of his appeal is over 13 years old.   Should  he
provide more recent documentary evidence  pertaining  to  his  post  service
activities we would be willing  to  reconsider  his  appeal.   Evidence  the
Board would consider might include educational  accomplishments,  employment
history, information about his family, contributions to his  community,  and
character references.  In the absence of such evidence, favorable action  is
not recommended.  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.

_________________________________________________________________

The following members of the Board considered this application in  Executive
Session on 4 May 2005, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
