AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01589
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXXXXX. COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or
Discharge, be corrected to reflect honorable.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was issued a general (under honorable conditions) discharge upon his
separation from the Air Force. His discharge was later changed to
honorable, but his DD Form 214 was never corrected.
The evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s official military personnel records were destroyed in the
1973 fire at the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC). His
reconstructed records reflect that he enlisted in the Regular Air Force as
an airman basic on 16 Jul 56 for a term of four years. On 3 Sep 57, he was
separated, under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Discharge for Unsuitability.
He completed a total of 1 year, 1 month and 18 days of active service.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Clarksburg, WV, indicated on 9 Aug 10, that, on the basis of data
furnished, they are unable to locate an arrest record.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. 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. Further, we note that while the
applicant provides a copy of a DD Form 256 AF, Honorable Discharge, this is
not an official source document. Therefore, based on the available
evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
