ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-03743
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	XXXXXXX	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 30 May 2013, the Board considered and denied a similar 
appeal.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s request and the rationale of the 
earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at 
Exhibit F (with Exhibits A through E).

In a letter, dated 5 Apr 2013, the applicant submitted post 
service information for reconsideration.  He included a personal 
statement and numerous character letters, certificates of 
appreciation and various other documents in support of his 
request.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit H.

________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After careful reconsideration of all the facts and circumstances 
of the applicant’s case, along with the additional documentation 
provided, it appears that the applicant has been a productive 
member of society since leaving the service.  Accordingly, we 
believe it would be an injustice for him to continue to suffer 
the adverse effects of the discharge he received over 10 years 
ago.  Therefore, we believe an upgrade of the characterization 
of his service to honorable is warranted on the basis of 
clemency.

________________________________________________________________



THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 13 Dec 
2002, he was honorably discharged and furnished an Honorable 
Discharge certificate.

________________________________________________________________

    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. Also included in the file was the AFBCMR request for upgrade to the AmnM. The Board acknowledges the act of courage and personal sacrifices of the applicant on 6 Jan 2008; however, we believe his commander acted within his authority in determining the AFCM was the most appropriate...

    On 23 May 1994, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification and provided a personal statement and numerous character letters. On 9 Jun 1994, the applicant was discharged from the Air Force, with a service characterized as general (under honorable conditions). In the interest of justice, we considered upgrading the 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.
