RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01869
		INDEX CODE 110.00
		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that his 15 May 1969 under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded to honorable. Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Clarksburg, West Virginia, provided an investigative report, which is attached at Exhibit C.

The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit D).  The advisory opinion and FBI Report were forwarded to the applicant for review and response (Exhibit E).  Applicant's response to the advisory opinion is at Exhibit F.

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 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 November 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
