RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NO: BC-1999-01115
				INDEX CODE 106.OO
	 			COUNSEL:  None

	 		HEARING DESIRED: No

Applicant requests that his 1996 general discharge be upgraded to honorable.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's request on 3 Dec 99 (Exhibit C).  In accordance with policy, the application was forwarded to this Board for further consideration. The AFDRB Brief was forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and opinions stated in the AFDRB Brief appear to be based on the evidence of record.  Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record.

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.  Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and will only be reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant evidence which was not reasonably available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX considered this application on 14 April 2000 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
