RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-1999-01138
		INDEX CODE:  110.00

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  YES

Applicant requests that his dishonorable discharge be upgraded to general (under honorable conditions).  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

On 21 June 1967 and 28 May 1976 the Board for the Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) considered and denied applicant's request for an upgrade of his discharge Exhibit C.

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.  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 applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.  Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.

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 23 September 1999, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

Exhibits:

A.  Applicant's DD Form 149
B.  Available Master Personnel Records
C.  Record of Proceedings w/atchs
D.  FBI Report
