AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02197
INDEX CODE: 107.00
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 24 JANUARY 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her husband's discharge be upgraded to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her husband's discharge was changed to honorable in a letter from President
Nixon.
In support of her request, applicant provides a copy of the former member's
death certificate.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
It appears the fire in 1973 at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC)
destroyed the former member's military personnel records. Therefore, the
facts surrounding his Air Force military service cannot be verified.
On 10 August 2006, the Review Boards Office advised the applicant that no
correspondence exists that the former member ever applied for clemency or
was granted a Presidential Pardon. The applicant was also asked to furnish
information she may have in her personal files regarding the former
member's separation from the Air Force. The applicant did not respond.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
NO AIR STAFF ADVISORY.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S RESPONSE:
No additional information provided.
_________________________________________________________________
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. After careful consideration of the
applicant’s request and the available evidence of record, we have seen no
evidence indicating that the former member was improperly discharged or
that an upgrade of his service characterization based on clemency is
warranted. The Board noted that the former member's records were burned in
the NPRC fire. Consequently, due to the limited evidence provided, in our
estimation, is not of a sufficient quality and quantity to warrant the
approval of the requested relief. Accordingly, the applicant’s request is
not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
