RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04242
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His under honorable conditions discharge be upgraded to
honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He served his country honorably other than the one incident that
impacted his character of service. He has lived for the past
50 years as an upstanding citizen.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 January
1957. The commander was informed that the applicant was
involved with civil authorities for personal misconduct
involving the theft of government property. There were no
military charges filed against him. On 17 January 1961, the
commander directed that he be discharged from the Air Force upon
his normal expiration of term of service with a general
discharge. The commander stated due to the near proximity of
the time of personal misconduct and his expiration of term of
service date, the applicant had not demonstrated a sufficient
degree of rehabilitation to warrant an honorable discharge. On
27 January 1961, the applicant was discharged upon his
expiration of term of service with an under honorable conditions
discharge.
On 27 March 2013, a request for post-service information was
forwarded to the applicant for response within 30 days
(Exhibit C). As of this date, no response has been received by
this office.
________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or injustice
that occurred during the discharge process. The applicant has
provided no evidence, which would lead us to believe the
characterization of the service was contrary to the provisions
of the governing regulation, or unduly harsh. Additionally, in
the absence of any evidence concerning his post-service
activities, we do not find it would be in the interest of
justice to upgrade the discharge on the basis of clemency.
Therefore, in view of the above and in the absence of evidence
to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend
granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________
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.
