AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2002-04027
INDEX CODE: 110.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded to
a general discharge.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 15 May 2008, the Board considered and denied a similar appeal. For an
accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the rationale
of the Board's earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit
E.
In his appeal for reconsideration, applicant provides a statement in which
he discusses the events as they transpired during his period of service.
In support of his appeal he provided character reference statements and
certificates of training.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In earlier findings, we determined that there was insufficient evidence to
warrant an upgrade of the applicant’s discharge. After careful
reconsideration of his request and his most recent submission, we do not
find it sufficiently compelling to warrant a revision of our earlier
determination in his case. Contrary to the applicant’s assertions, his
military personnel records clearly show he was discharged for failure to go
and being absent without leave for three weeks. It remains our opinion
that the discharge proceedings were proper and the characterization of the
discharge was appropriate to the circumstances. Although the applicant has
provided documentation pertaining to his post-service activities, we find
these insufficient to warrant an upgrade of his discharge on the basis of
clemency. Therefore, we find no compelling basis to act favorably on his
request for an upgrade of his discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of 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.

In support of his appeal, the applicant submitted a statement from a former co-worker.
