RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04173 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He has been an outstanding citizen since his discharge and 
desires his under honorable conditions discharge upgraded. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of 
VA Form 21-4138, Statement in Support of Claim and NGB Form 439, General Discharge Certificate. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

A discharge package was not available in the applicant’s military 
personnel records (MPR). The facts surrounding his separation 
cannot be verified. The available records reveal the applicant 
was discharged under honorable conditions from the Tennessee Air 
National Guard and Reserve of the Air Force effective 
14 September 1992. He was credited with 9 years, 9 months and 
12 days of total service for pay. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 the 
applicant’s discharge was proper and in compliance with the 
appropriate directives. We considered whether it was in the 
interest of justice to consider upgrade of his discharge based on 
clemency; however, we do not find the evidence presented is 
sufficient to compel us to recommend granting the relief sought 
on that basis. 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 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.
