RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00418 

 COUNSEL: 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

1. He received an Article 15 for a minor infraction when a 
friend tried to sell his albums without his knowledge. As a 
result, when he transferred duty stations he was denied a Top 
Secret security clearance. 

 

2. He was a communications specialist and consequently was 
transferred to a maintenance unit as a pavement maintenance 
specialist. He states this was degrading and harsh punishment. 

 

3. Considering the petty nature of the offense he was treated 
unfairly. He was going through his military records and noticed 
his discharge certificate reflected a general discharge. This 
has bothered him since the time of his discharge and he did not 
know he could have his discharge changed just by applying. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement, copies of his DD Form 214, Armed Forces of the United 
States Report of Transfer or Discharge; AF Form 899, Permanent 
Change of Station Orders; AF Form 299, Request for Retraining 
and special orders. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 5 Nov 62, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force in 
Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 291X0, which denotes Telecommunications Operations. 

 

Due to security clearance reasons, the applicant could not 
perform AFSC 291XO duties. 

 


On 17 Mar 65, the applicant was recommended for on-the-job 
retraining to AFSC 55130, which denotes Pavements Maintenance 
Specialist. 

 

On 2 Jul 65, he was discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-
17, Discharge of Airmen Because of Unfitness, with service 
characterized as general (under honorable conditions). He is 
credited with 2 years, 7 months and 28 days of active duty 
service. 

 

Attempts to obtain a copy of his discharge package have been 
unsuccessful. Therefore, the circumstances and facts 
surrounding his discharge are not available. 

 

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of 
Investigation, Clarksburg, WV, states they we unable to identify 
an arrest record on the basis of the information furnished 
(Exhibit B). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. Due to the 
limited records available and based upon the presumption of 
regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs, we must 
assume that the applicant's discharge was proper and in 
compliance with appropriate directives. We find no evidence of 
error or injustice in the available records and without evidence 
to support the applicant's appeal, we find no basis upon which 
to favorably consider this application. Therefore, in view of 
the foregoing, we conclude that no basis exists upon which to 
recommend favorable action on his request. In the interest of 
justice, we considered upgrading the discharge based on 
clemency; however, we do not find the evidence presented is 
sufficient to recommend granting the relief sought on that 
basis. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 
we find no basis upon which to recommend granting the relief 
sought. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.

    He completed his CCAF degree requirements prior to retirement; however, he cannot receive his degree because of the “9A100” AFSC. He struggled as a manager because he had never been in a management position until this point.
