RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01699 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His undesirable discharge be upgraded to a general (under 
honorable conditions) discharge. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His discharge was a result of discrimination. He and other 
airmen took local females to the Non-Commissioned Officer’s Club 
on Hickam Air Field. The NCOs took offense and instigated a 
fight, for which he was blamed. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a 
DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge from the 
Armed Forces of the United States and his Certification of 
Military Service. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

It appears the applicant's military personnel records were 
destroyed by fire in 1973 at the National Personnel Record Center 
(NPRC) in St. Louis, Missouri. 

 

The following information was extracted from a copy of the 
Certification of Military Service and a Morning Report which 
indicates the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 
26 February 1948. On 18 May 1950, he was discharged in the grade 
of private with an undesirable discharge under the provisions of 
AFR 39-17. 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation (FBI), Clarksburg, West Virginia, provided an 
arrest record which is at Exhibit C. 

 

On 25 June 2010, a copy of the FBI Report of Investigation and a 
request for information pertaining to his post-service activities 
was forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 
30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received 
no response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. The 
applicant did not provide evidence to show that his discharge was 
erroneous or unjust. Based upon the presumption of regularity in 
the conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to the 
contrary, we must assume that the applicant's discharge was 
proper and in compliance with appropriate directives. Although 
the applicant did not specifically request consideration based on 
clemency, we find insufficient evidence to warrant a 
recommendation that the discharge be upgraded on that basis. 
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no 
basis to recommend granting the relief sought. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
