APPLICANT REQUESTS: That his discharge be upgraded.
APPLICANT STATES: The applicant makes no additional statement. He provides his Report of Separation from Active Duty, DD Form 214, and his discharge certificate as supporting evidence.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records show:
He enlisted in the Regular Army on 22 February 1973. He completed basic training and advanced individual training and was awarded military occupational specialty 11B (Infantryman).
On 28 September 1973, the applicant accepted nonjudicial punishment (NJP) under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for being absent without leave (AWOL) from 5 to on or about 19 September 1973.
The applicant departed AWOL from 2 – 6 January 1974.
On 29 January 1973, the applicant accepted NJP under Article 15, UCMJ for being AWOL from 21 to on or about 23 January 1974 and for breaking restriction.
The applicant departed AWOL from 21 – 24 June 1974, 24 – 28 July 1974, 1 – 5 August 1974, 12 – 28 August 1974, 16 September – 16 September 1974, and 15 October – 17 December 1974.
The court-martial charges and the discharge packet are not available.
On 18 February 1975, the applicant was discharged, in pay grade E-1, under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-200, chapter 10, for the good of the service with a discharge under other than honorable conditions. He had completed 1 year, 7 months, and 28 days of creditable active service and had 122 days of lost time.
Army Regulation 635-200 sets forth the basic authority for the separation of enlisted personnel. Chapter 10 of that regulation provides, in pertinent part, that a member who has committed an offense or offenses for which the authorized punishment includes a punitive discharge may submit a request for discharge for the good of the service in lieu of trial by court-martial. The request may be submitted at any time after charges have been preferred and must include the individual’s admission of guilt. A discharge under other than honorable conditions is normally considered appropriate.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy this requirement and, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, it is presumed that the discharge proceedings were conducted in accordance with law and regulations applicable at the time.
2. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.
