IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2007-00819
								INDEX CODE:  106.00
	XXXXXXXXXXXXX				COUNSEL:  NONE

								HEARING DESIRED:  NO

MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  16 September 2008

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His undesirable discharge be upgraded to honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He wishes to die with a good discharge.  

In support of his appeal, he has provided a copy of his DD Form 258AF, Undesirable Discharge Certificate, dated 3 January 1957.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The National Personnel Records Center advises that no Military Personnel Record is available under the name, social security number, or service number provided.  Therefore, the facts surrounding his separation cannot be verified.  Data extracted from his DD Form 258AF, Undesirable Discharge Certificate, reflects that he was discharged on 3 January 1957, and issued an undesirable discharge.  

Pursuant to the Board's request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Clarksburg, WV, indicated that on the basis of the data furnished, they were unable to locate an arrest record (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 probable error or injustice.  Based upon the presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the applicant's discharge was proper and in compliance with appropriate directives.  The only other basis upon which to upgrade his discharge would be based on clemency.  However, applicant has failed to provide documentation pertaining to his post service activities.  Should he provide documentary evidence pertaining to his post service activities we would be willing to reconsider his appeal.  In the absence of such evidence, favorable action is not recommended.  Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
