AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1987-02223-2
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Under Other Than Honorable Conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded to
Honorable.
________________________________________________________________
RESUME OF CASE:
The applicant submitted a similar request dated 14 May 87. On 15 Oct 87,
the Board considered and denied the applicant's request; however, it was
considered under the proforma format (Exhibit D). Therefore, facts
pertaining to this case are as follows:
On 8 May 1967, the applicant was discharged from the Regular Air Force in
the grade of Airman Second Class (E-3), under the provisions of AFM 39-12
for unfitness. He had served 1 year, 8 months and 28 days on active duty.
Administrative discharge action was initiated against the applicant based
the following infractions:
a) The applicant admitted to bringing marijuana on base and keeping
it in his room.
b) He admitted to smoking marijuana on at least 12 occasions during
1966 and 1967.
c) In Nov 66, he sold marijuana to another airman on different
occasions receiving $12 from the other airman for each sale.
d) In Jan 67, during an investigation by the OSI, the applicant
admitted to purchasing a one ounce package of marijuana in New York City in
July 1966.
In support of his request, he submits copies of letters to the Department
of Veterans Affairs (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After careful consideration of the applicant’s reconsideration request and
the documentation submitted in support of his appeal, we are not persuaded
to override the Board's original decision. The applicant’s contentions are
duly noted, however, the Board finds no impropriety in the characterization
of applicant’s discharge. It appears that responsible officials applied
appropriate standards in effecting the separation, and we do not find
persuasive evidence that pertinent regulations were violated or that the
applicant was not afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of
discharge. We therefore conclude the discharge was appropriate to the
existing circumstances. The applicant has submitted some evidence of his
post-service accomplishments and while we commend him on his activities, we
do not find this evidence sufficiently persuasive to warrant clemency.
Therefore, in view of the foregoing, we find no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in 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.

Instead he makes a broad assertion that because no member detailed to his court-martial was African-American, the convening authority improperly excluded African- Americans from consideration as members. Clearly, given the overwhelming evidence adduced at trial (including video of the applicant in the bank making a fraudulent transaction) and the applicant’s post-trial admission of guilt, the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the absence of African-American court members was...
