RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01332
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. Her under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge
be upgraded to under honorable conditions.
2. Her rank be changed to Airman Third Class
3. Her Date of Birth of 1 Feb 38, be added.
4. Her Place of Birth of Lorain, Ohio be added.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was discharged under honorable conditions and the
characterization is false.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
birth certificate reflecting her date and place of birth.
The evidence submitted in support of the appeal is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records were destroyed by fire
in the NPRC in Jul 73. The following information was extracted
from the available documents.
On 29 Nov 56, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 26 Sep 57, she was released from active duty with an UOTHC
discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
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 not been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice regarding the
applicants requests to upgrade her UOTHC discharge to honorable
and change her rank to airman third class. The documentation
contained in the applicants records is limited; however, we note
Special Order number 102, dated 26 Sep 57, and AF Form 183, Security Classification, both reflect that she was discharged in
the grade of airman basic with service characterized as under
other than honorable. Therefore, without evidence to the
contrary, we must assume the applicants discharge and grade were
proper and in compliance with the appropriate directives. In the
interest of justice, we considered upgrading her discharge based
on clemency; however, we do not find the evidence presented
sufficient to recommend granting the relief. Therefore in the
absence of evidence to the contrary we find no basis to grant the
relief sought in this application
4. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a
careful review of the available evidence, we believe partial
relief is warranted. We note the applicants records were burned
in the fire at the NRPC and her date and place of birth is not
reflected in her records; therefore, in the interest of justice,
we recommend the records be corrected to the extent indicated
below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be amended to show that her date of birth
of 1 Feb 38 and place of birth of Lorain, Ohio were added to her
records.
