AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-02649
INDEX CODE: 111.05
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under other than honorable conditions discharge (UOTHC) be upgraded to
honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s records were destroyed by fire at the National Personnel
Records Center (NPRC) in 1973. Therefore, the facts surrounding his
separation cannot be verified. Data extracted from his reconstructed
records reflects that he enlisted in the Regular Force on 26 Oct 54. He
was separated on 28 Feb 58, under the provisions of AFR 39-17, Unfitness,
and issued a UOTHC discharge. The applicant served three years and four
months of active service.
On 30 Nov 04, the Board denied the applicant’s request that his discharge
be upgraded. A copy of the Record of Proceedings is at Exhibit C (with
Exhibits A through B).
By application, dated 26 Jun 09, the applicant requests reconsideration and
contends the Air Force policy concerning discharge for unfitness was
changed in Mar 50, allowing airmen discharged under AFR 39-17, to receive a
general or honorable discharge.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides two personal statements, a
copy of his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of
Transfer or Discharge, and copies of two similar cases (Exhibit D).
On 4 Aug 09, the AFBCMR requested the applicant provide information
pertaining to his post service activities since leaving the service
(Exhibit E).
By letter, dated 22 Jun 09, the applicant states that he has overcome the
behavioral traits related to his discharge from the Air Force, he has
raised his children and worked for over 40 years for the same company. He
is active in his community and has been a caring and compassionate person.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
As previously noted, the Board determined that there was insufficient
evidence to warrant any corrective action. The Board, after a complete
review of the evidence of record and based on the presumption of regularity
in the conduct of governmental affairs, must again assume the applicant’s
UOTHC discharge was proper and in compliance with the directive under which
it was effected. Furthermore, because of the limited post-service
documentation provided, we are not inclined to recommend upgrading his
discharge based on clemency at this time. In view of the foregoing, and in
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to act
favorably on the applicant’s request for upgrade of his discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of an 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.

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS Based on the available evidence of record, it appears the applicant’s UOTHC discharge for misconduct-sexual deviation was consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and within the commander’s discretionary authority. In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to upgrade the applicant’s UOTHC discharge.

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.
