IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00346
INDEX CODE: 110.00
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His undesirable discharge be upgraded.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge from 1956 should be upgraded considering it has been more
than 15 years.
His complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Available military records show the applicant enlisted in the Air National
Guard on 17 March 1953 in the grade of private (E1). He was honorably
discharged 1 December 1953 in the grade of Private First Class (E-3). On
12 January 1954, he enlisted in the United States Air Force.
On 27 January 1956, he was discharged in the grade of airman basic (E-1).
The reason for his separation was "Convicted by Civil Court".
He served a total of two years, three months and five days on active duty
and had 175 days of lost time recorded on his DD Form 214, Report of
Separation from the Armed Forces of the United States.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
provided a copy of an Investigative Report, which is at Exhibit C. On 27
February 2007, a copy of the Investigative Report was forwarded to the
applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date no
response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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. 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 applicant was not
afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge. The
applicant has not shown the characterization of the discharge was contrary
to the provisions of the governing regulation, nor has it been shown the
nature of the discharge was unduly harsh or disproportionate to the
offenses committed. Considered alone, we conclude the discharge
proceedings were proper and characterization of the discharge was
appropriate to the existing circumstances.
________________________________________________________________
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.
