RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NO:  BC-1999-01159
						INDEX CODE:  110-00, 112.00

    					COUNSEL:  NONE

    					HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed.  The applicant’s RE code of 2B is defined as “Separated with a general or under other than honorable conditions discharge.”  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's request for upgrade of his general discharge and to change his RE code on 30 August 1999 (Exhibit C).

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request concerning the RE code and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit D).  The decision of the AFDRB and the advisory opinion were forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit E).  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 and advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by applicant.  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 6 January 2000 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
