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 applicant’s 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 
applicant’s requests to upgrade her UOTHC discharge to honorable 
and change her rank to airman third class. The documentation 
contained in the applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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.
