RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05072
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His general (under honorable conditions (UHC)) discharge be
upgraded to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Under a program that allowed soldiers who helped around a farm,
he was discharged early. His parents owned a farm and he
qualified for early discharge. He did not pay attention to his
discharge status when he got out and feels that he deserves an
honorable discharge.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
Discharge Certificate.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 2 Apr 54.
The applicant was discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-16
for not being able to absorb the concepts of military life.
Additionally, he went to an off-limits establishment; misused a
government vehicle; delayed reporting an accident. He received
2 Article 15s and met a summary court-martial. He was confined
for 30 days and forfeited $55.00. On 16 Dec 55, he received a
UHC discharge after serving 1 year, 7 months, and 21 days on
active duty.
On 19 Jun 13, a request for information pertaining to his post-
service activities was forwarded to the applicant for response
within 15 days. As of this date, no response received.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 applicants 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. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was
consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the commander's discretionary authority.
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. In the
interest of justice, we considered upgrading the applicants
discharge on the basis of clemency, however, there was no
evidence submitted to compel us to recommend granting the
request on that basis. Therefore, 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.
