RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-02065
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 August 2007, the Board considered and denied the applicant’s appeal requesting that his UOTHC discharge be upgraded to honorable. A complete copy of the Record of Proceedings is attached at Exhibit D (with Exhibits A through C).
By letter, dated 21 September 2007, the applicant requests reconsideration of his request, contending that he knows his actions were wrong and he used bad judgment, intensified by the effects of alcohol. He has had many years of deep regret reflecting on that moment, and if he could change one thing in his past, it would be that split second when he chose to hit back rather than turn the other cheek.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits copies of a personal statement and numerous character references and letters of support.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation and post-service information provided by the applicant, the Board is persuaded he has overcome the behavioral traits which led to the discharge action and has led a stable and productive life since his separation. We recognize the adverse impact of the discharge the applicant received; and, while it may have been appropriate at the time, we believe it would be an injustice for him to continue to suffer its effects. Accordingly, we find that corrective action is appropriate on the basis of clemency and recommend the records be corrected as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 21 December 1956, he was honorably discharged and furnished an Honorable Discharge Certificate.
