RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01753
		INDEX NUMBER:  110.03

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that his DD Form 214 (Armed Forces of the United States Report of Transfer or Discharge) be corrected to reflect his discharge date as April 1967.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The facts surrounding his separation from the Air Force are unknown inasmuch as no military records were available.  A copy of the applicant’s Report of Separation, obtained from the Dept of Veterans Affairs, reflects that the applicant entered active duty on 19 December 1966 and was honorably discharged on 5 January 1967, under the provisions of AFM 39-10, para 3-8Q (Convenience of the Government).  He was credited with 17 days of active duty service.

After careful consideration of applicant's request, we found insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.  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, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.

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, considered this application on 06 December 2001 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
