XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 3 September 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her father’s Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC) discharge be
upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is seeking only to correct her father’s record in order to try to
obtain a headstone for his grave through the Department of Veterans Affairs
(DVA). She is not seeking any monetary benefit.
In support of her application, the applicant provides copies of her
father’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty;
her father’s birth and death certificates, and her identification
documents.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the DD Form 214 submitted by the applicant, the decedent
enlisted in the Regular Air Force at the age of 19 on 19 May 1974. He
served seven years and 5 months as an Airframe Repair Specialist. On 22
January 1982, the applicant was discharged with an UOTHC discharge with a
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2B (separated with a general or UOTHC
discharge) and a narrative reason for separation of “Misconduct – Frequent
Involvement of a Discreditable Nature.” He served 7 years, 7 months, and
18 days of active duty of which 5 years, 2 months, and 22 days was Foreign
Service.
No other military service records can be located; therefore, an Air Force
advisory opinion was unable to be accomplished. The applicant did not
submit information surrounding the decedent’s discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
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 characterization of 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.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
