RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:  			DOCKET NO:  01-01030 (Case 2)
					INDEX CODE:  100.03

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be upgraded.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

Applicant's military personnel records are unavailable.  Therefore, the facts surrounding his separation from the Air Force cannot be verified.

The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's request for upgrade of his general discharge on 7 Dec 00.  The AFDRB Brief was forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit B).  Applicant’s response to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit D.

After careful consideration of applicant's request and the limited available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  Based upon 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, based on the limited available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.  However, should the applicant submit documents surrounding his Air Force service and the circumstances of his discharge, the Board may be willing to reconsider his appeal.

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 Edwards considered this application on 14 November 2001 and 14 December 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
