             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2005-01672
            INDEX CODE:  110.02

      XXXXXXX    COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests his bad  conduct
discharge (BCD) be upgraded to general (under honorable conditions).

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was discharged with a BCD in the grade of airman  basic  on  4
Oct 56.  He was credited with 3 years, 3 months, and 3 days of  active  duty
service (excluding 346 days of lost time due to AWOL and confinement).

On 21 Sep 05, the AFBCMR considered and denied the  applicant’s  request  to
have his BCD upgraded to a general discharge.  (A  copy  of  the  Record  of
Proceedings, with exhibits, is at Exhibit I.

On 26 Oct  06,  the  applicant  submitted  a  request  for  reconsideration,
requesting his BCD be upgraded on the basis of clemency.  He  explained  the
circumstances surrounding his courts-martial and subsequent  discharge;  and
his accomplishments since leaving the  service.   Applicant  disagrees  with
some of the charges on the FBI report, specifically surrounding the  charges
of grand larceny of an automobile.  Additionally,  he  provides  letters  of
recommendation to support his appeal for clemency.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit J.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in  support
of the appeal, we remain unpersuaded  that  the  applicant’s  discharge  was
erroneous or unjust.  The Board noted the applicant’s accomplishments  since
leaving the service, including the numerous letters of  character  reference
and support submitted in his most recent submission.  However,  no  evidence
has been presented which would lead  us  to  believe  that  the  applicant’s
service characterization was improper.   Therefore,  based  on  his  overall
record of service, the numerous courts-martial which  resulted  in  his  bad
conduct discharge, and the contents of the FBI report, we found no  evidence
warranting an upgrade of the characterization of the  applicant’s  discharge
on the basis of clemency.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of 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.
