RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:  			DOCKET NO:  01-01180
					INDEX CODE:  110.00, 110.02

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  YES

Applicant requests that his narrative reason for discharge and reenlistment eligibility code (RE) be changed.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

We noted that the appropriate Air Force offices indicated that the applicant’s character of service (under honorable conditions) honorable and RE code of 3C (First-term airman not yet considered under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)) on his DD Form 214 were erroneous entries.  In view of the administrative oversight, the applicant’s DD Form 214 has been administratively corrected to reflect his character of service as “under honorable conditions (general)” and his RE code as “2B” (Separated with a general or under other than honorable conditions).

The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinions were 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 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 considered this application on 16 August 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
