RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-00025

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  YES

Applicant requests that his current date of rank (DOR) of        1 January 2000 for technical sergeant (E6) be changed to reflect promotion in cycle 95E6 and supplemental consideration for promotion to master sergeant (E7) with all back pay and allowances without offset for civilian earnings.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinion 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 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 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 issues 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 available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board Mr. XXXXX, Ms. XXXXX, and Mr. XXXXX, considered this application on 22 March 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
