RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-03543
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he again requests his under
honorable conditions (general) discharge be upgraded to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was discharged with a general (under honorable conditions)
discharge on 15 October 1985 because of misconduct-pattern conduct
prejudicial to good order and discipline. An RE-2B was assigned. At the
time of his separation, he was credited with 3 years, 10 months and 13 days
of active duty service.
On 25 January 2007, the applicant’s request that his discharge be upgraded
to honorable was considered and denied by the Air Force Board for
Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR). A complete copy of the Record of
Proceedings is attached at Exhibit F.
The applicant submitted an application dated 23 February 2007, again
requesting that his under honorable conditions (general) discharge be
upgraded to honorable. In support of his request, he provided a personal
statement, a copy of his DD Form 214, a copy of his request for waiver, a
three character references. The applicant’s complete submission is at
Exhibit G.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice warranting an upgrade of his
discharge based on clemency. We again find no error in the discharge
action taken against the applicant. However, consideration of this Board
is not limited to the events which precipitated the discharge. We have a
Congressional mandate which permits consideration of other factors; e.g.,
applicant's background, the overall quality of service, and post-service
activities and accomplishments. Further, we may base our decision on
matters of inequity and clemency rather than simply on whether rules and
regulations which existed at the time were followed. This is a much
broader consideration than officials involved in the discharge were
permitted, and our decision in no way discredits the validity of theirs.
2. Under our broader mandate and after careful consideration of all the
facts and circumstances of applicant's case, we are persuaded that
applicant has overcome the behavioral traits which led to the contested
discharge and has been a productive member of society. We recognize the
adverse impact of the discharge applicant received; and, while it may have
been appropriate at the time, we believe it would be an injustice for
applicant to continue to suffer its effects. Accordingly, we find that
corrective action is appropriate as a matter of equity and on the basis of
clemency.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

to BARRY P. ROBINSON, 427-17-1749, be corrected to show that on 15 October
1985, he was honorably discharged and furnished an Honorable Discharge
certificate.

On 23 Jun 58, the Air Force Discharge Review Board denied the applicant’s request for a discharge upgrade. Considered alone, we conclude the discharge proceedings were proper and the characterization of the discharge was appropriate to the existing circumstances. Therefore, the Board Majority recommends the applicant’s discharge be upgraded to general (under honorable conditions) as a matter of equity and on the basis of clemency.

In addition, based on his overall record of service, the events which precipitated the discharge, and the contents of the FBI report, we are not persuaded that an upgrade of the characterization of his discharge is warranted on the basis of clemency.
