RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01686
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 24 NOV 06
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to an
honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He desires his discharge upgraded. He was a young man when he entered the
Air Force and believes his discharge was unjust.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in 1973
at the National Personnel Record Center (NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri;
therefore, the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air Force
cannot be verified.
The available records indicate on 18 October 1950, the applicant enlisted
in the Regular Air Force for a period of four years.
On 27 November 1953, the applicant was discharged with service
characterized as general (under honorable conditions) under the provisions
of AFR 39-14 (Convenience of the Government). He served 3 years, 9 months,
and 16 days of total active duty service.
Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, West Virginia, indicated they were unable to identify with an
arrest record on the basis of information furnished - Exhibit C.
On 21 July 2005, the Board staff requested the applicant provide
documentation pertaining to his time in the Air Force, his discharge, and
post-service documentation within 20 days. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 the applicant's discharge was proper and in
compliance with appropriate directives. Therefore, based on the available
evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this
application.
4. Although the applicant did not specifically request consideration
based on clemency, we also find insufficient evidence to warrant a
recommendation the discharge be upgraded on that basis. The documentation
provided by the applicant is noted; however, in the Board’s opinion the
applicant has not provided sufficient information concerning his post-
service activities and accomplishments to warrant a favorable
recommendation on the basis of clemency.
5. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially
add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request
for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
