RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02486
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 20 FEBRUARY 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His undesirable discharge be upgraded.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While in the service, on numerous occasions he would have headaches and
would take his hat off. This happened so many times that his sergeant
administered him an Article 15. He believes he was mistreated and desires
his discharge upgraded. He states he cannot locate any of his service
records.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided a copy of his DD Form 214,
Report of Separation from the Armed Forces of the United States.
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 reason for discharge cannot be verified.
The available records reflect that on 12 March 1953, he entered active
service in the Regular Air Force for a period of four years. On 12 August
1955, he was discharged with an undesirable discharge under the provisions
of AFR 39-17 (Unfitness).
_________________________________________________________________
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 that 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.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

Although the applicant contends the accusations of homosexuality were never substantiated, he rendered a sworn statement to the OSI, admitting to homosexual relations with Air Force personnel. Furthermore, the regulation in effect at that time required that a member be issued an undesirable discharge. Exhibit C. FBI Report, dated 8 Jun 06.

We conclude therefore, that the discharge proceedings were proper and the characterization of the discharge was appropriate to the existing circumstances. Based on the evidence of record, we cannot conclude that clemency is warranted. Exhibit A. DD Form 149, dated 3 September 2007, w/atchs.

The discharge authority approved the recommended discharge action and he received an undesirable discharge on 29 March 1965 for unfitness - sexual perversion. On 12 June 1968, the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) considered and denied the applicant’s request for an upgrade of his discharge. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record and noting the applicant’s complete submission, we find no evidence of error or injustice.
