XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NOT
INDICATED
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 19 MAY 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Before he leaves the world, he would like his family to be proud of
his service.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Available records indicate the applicant entered active duty 13
July 1956 and was discharged with a general (under honorable
conditions) discharge on 12 February 1959 in the grade of airman
basic. He served 2 years and 7 months.
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.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Air Force was not able to evaluate this application due to
nonavailability of personnel records.
_________________________________________________________________
HE 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.
