RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02785

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Bad Conduct discharge be upgraded to Honorable.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

It has been 27 years since his conviction and he has served his 
sentence and paid all fines.    

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 26 Apr 
88.

On 2 Feb 90, the applicant was found guilty of multiple 
violations of Article 123, intent to defraud and multiple 
violations of Article 121, theft during a General Court-Martial.    
He was sentenced to a reduction in grade to airman (E-1), 
forfeiture of $482.00 pay per month for four months, four months 
confinement and a Bad Conduct discharge.

On 27 Sep 91, the applicant was furnished a Bad Conduct 
discharge, and was credited with 3 years, 5 months, and 2 days 
of active service.   

A request for post-service information was forwarded to the 
applicant on 7 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days.  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office.


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 note 
that this Board is without authority to reverse, set aside, or 
otherwise expunge a court-martial conviction.  Rather, in 
accordance with Title 10, United States Code, Section 1552(f), 
actions by this Board are limited to corrections to the record 
to reflect actions taken by the reviewing officials and action 
on the sentence of the court-martial for the purpose of 
clemency.  We find no evidence which indicates the applicant’s 
service characterization, which had its basis in his court-
martial conviction and was a part of the sentence of the 
military court, was improper or that it exceeded the limitations 
set forth in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).  We 
have considered the applicant’s overall quality of service, the 
court-martial conviction which precipitated the discharge, and 
the seriousness of the offenses to which convicted.  However, in 
the absence of any evidence related to the applicant’s post-
service activities that would enable us to determine if his 
accomplishments since his discharge are sufficient to overcome 
the misconduct for which he was discharged, we find no basis 
upon which to favorably consider this application.


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.
