COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 20 April 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge was inequitable because it was based on one isolated
incident in 29 months of service with no other adverse action. He
states this is the only black mark of his life and he would like to
get it taken care of if he can.
Applicant did not provide any documentation in support of the appeal.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s military records were lost or destroyed and efforts at
reconstruction have been unsuccessful. The following information was
extracted from the applicant’s separation documents.
Applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who served on
active duty from 29 January 1957 to 17 July 1959. He served 2 years 5
months and 19 days on active duty. His separation document states his
service was terminated by an Under Other Than Honorable Conditions
Discharge, in the grade of airman third class.
Per phone call on 17 Nov 06, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, West Virginia, indicated on the basis of the data
furnished they were unable to locate an arrest record.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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.
