RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03685
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His general (under other than honorable conditions) discharge
be upgraded to honorable.
2. He receive a medical discharge with retroactive back pay.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The authority for which he was discharged has caused an
injustice for the past 40 years. He was accepted into the
service with a psychiatric condition that existed prior to
service and it was aggravated during his service.
The Surgeon Generals Report on Mental Health of 1999
acknowledges injustices by denying proper discharges and
retirements.
The applicant provides no supporting documentation.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 January
1965. On 12 October 1967, the applicant was notified of his
commanders intent to discharge him from the Air Force after he
was diagnosed with passive aggressive personality. The
applicant also received two Article 15s: one for failure to go
to his appointed place of duty and one for failure to obey an
order of a noncommissioned officer.
On 6 November 1967, the evaluation officer stated he interviewed
the applicant. He explained his rights and offered him the
opportunity to submit statements on his behalf. The applicant
declined to submit matters and stated that he did not desire to
remain in the Air Force.
On 22 November 1967, the commander directed the applicant be
discharged from the Air Force and furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge. The applicant was credited
with 2 years, 11 months and 4 days of active service.
Pursuant to the Boards request, the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia provided a copy of an
investigation report (Exhibit C).
The applicant responded to the request for post-service
information and reiterated his character of service has
prevented him from obtaining employment. He is now 65 years old
and suffers from depression and diabetes. He believes these
problems began and were aggravated during his three years of
military service. On that basis, he feels he should receive a
medical discharge with back pay.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
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. After a
thorough review of the applicants request and the available
evidence of record, we see no evidence warranting a change of
the applicants discharge. The applicant has provided no
evidence, which would lead us to believe the characterization of
service was contrary to the provisions of the governing
regulation, or unduly harsh. Additionally, the applicant has
not submitted sufficient evidence to support his request for a
medical discharge. We considered upgrading the discharge based
on clemency; however, there was no evidence submitted to compel
us to recommend granting the relief sought on that basis.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find
no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in 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.
