d. Petitioner's characterization of service was based on
conduct averages computed from marks assigned on a periodic
basis. His conduct average was 4.0. At the time of his service,
a conduct average of 3.25 was required for a fully honorable
characterization of service.
e. In his application, Petitioner states that he did not
realize the error until he was applying for veterans benefits.
CONCLUSION:
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, the
Board concludes that Petitioner's request warrants relief.
Although Petitioner was properly discharged from active duty with
a characterization of honorable, his DD Form 214 does not reflect
he received an honorable discharge. In this regard, the Board
concludes that, in view of his overall record of military
service, as shown by his satisfactory conduct average, the record
should reflect a fully honorable characterization of service.
RECOMMENDATION:
a. That Petitioner's naval record be corrected to show
that he was honorably discharged from active duty on 30 June
1952. This should include the issuance of a new DD Form 214.
b. That a copy of this report of proceedings be filed in
Petitioner’s naval record.
¢. That upon request, the Department of Veterans Affairs be
informed that Petitioner’s application was received on
31 January 2014.
