RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS.


IN THE MATTER OF: 		DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-01451

				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Under Other Than Honorable Conditions discharge be upgraded to 
Honorable.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He had a trivial and unjust conflict with his First Sergeant which 
resulted in his service characterization of discharge.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 10 Jan 56, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.

On 21 May 58, the applicant was furnished an Under Other Than 
Honorable Conditions discharge, and was credited with 2 years, 4 
months, and 12 days of active service.   

A request for post-service information was forwarded to the 
applicant on 7 Apr 15 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.  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.  Therefore, based on the available 
evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably 
consider this application.  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.
