RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

 IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01660
		INDEX CODE 100.00
		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests his Servicemembers’ Group Life Insurance (SGLI) election for “NO” coverage, dated 16 April 1997, be honored and he be reimbursed for the monthly premiums deducted from his April 2001 pay for SGLI coverage of $250,000.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request on 3 occasions and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit B).  The advisory opinions were forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit C). Applicant's response to the advisory opinions is at Exhibit D.

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 opinions appear to be based on the evidence of record and have not been adequately 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 available at the time the application was filed.

Members of the Board considered this application on
1 April 02 , in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
