RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-00110
		INDEX CODE: 110.00

	APPLICANT	COUNSEL:  NONE

	SSN	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests his Undesirable Discharge be upgraded to a General (Under Honorable Conditions) Discharge.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

Applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in 1973.  Therefore, the facts surrounding his separation from the Air Force cannot be verified.

After careful consideration of applicant’s request, we note that there are no records available for review and applicant has not provided documentation revealing the circumstances of his discharge.  Therefore, we have no records upon which to determine whether or not applicant’s separation was appropriate.  However, based on 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, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision.  Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and application was filed.

Members of the Board considered this application on March 8, 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
