RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03323
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be upgraded
to honorable and his reentry (RE) code of 2B (approved
involuntary separation with less than honorable discharge) be
changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He never received any counseling or nonjudicial punishment to
justify this characterization of service. He attempted to file
this request in 1987; however, the County Services Officer (CSO)
in California told him he had no case. He was discouraged and
did not pursue an upgrade until he met his current CSO and they
discussed it in detail.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
Master Personnel Record.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 2 May 1974, the applicant entered in the Regular Air Force.
He was discharged on 27 March 1987 for unsatisfactory
performance. He received a general (under honorable conditions)
discharge and his RE code was listed as 2B.
The applicants administrative discharge package was not located
in his master personnel records. 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 Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Clarksburg, WV, states they we unable to identify
an arrest record on the basis of the information furnished.
On 24 April 2012, the applicant was offered an opportunity to
provide information pertaining to his activities since leaving
the service (Exhibit C). However, as of this date no response
has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an 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. Therefore, based on the
available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to
favorably consider this application. In the interest of justice,
we considered upgrading the applicants discharge on the basis
of clemency, however, there was no post-service information
submitted on which to consider granting relief 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.

MRBP states that the AFDB considered the applicant (and another Air Force officer) for award of the AmnM on 7 Aug 2009 and disapproved the award, recommending downgrade to the AFCM for an act of courage.
