RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05742
		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

It has been 53 years since his discharge and he believes he has 
been a responsible person during this time.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to documentation provided by the applicant, on 18 Oct 
57, he enlisted in the Regular Air Force.

The applicant’s complete military personnel records were 
destroyed in the 1973 fire at the National Personnel Records 
Center.

On 9 Dec 60, the applicant received a general discharge and was 
credited with 3 years, 1 month, and 22 days of total active 
service.

On 28 May 14, a request for post-service information was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit C).

________________________________________________________________

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 an 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 in the discharge processing.  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, unduly 
harsh, or disproportionate to the offenses committed.  In the 
interest of justice, we considered upgrading the discharge based 
on clemency; however, in the absence of any evidence related to 
the applicant’s post-service activities, there is no way for us 
to determine if the applicant’s accomplishments since leaving 
the service are sufficiently meritorious to overcome the 
misconduct for which he was discharged.  Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought.
________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
