AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation.  In addition, the discharge was within the sound discretion of the discharge authority.  The applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.  Furthermore, he has provided no other facts warranting an upgrade of the discharge.

The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE conducted a review of the applicant’s case file and states, in part, that the RE Code of 2C is correct.

The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 28 June 2002 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of error or injustice to warrant upgrading his RE Code. In this respect, we note that the applicant’s discharge appears to be in compliance with the governing Air Force Instruction in effect at the time of his discharge and that he was afforded all the rights to which entitled. Furthermore, he provides no evidence that his separation was inappropriate or that the assigned RE Code reflecting his involuntary separation was in error or unjust.  There being insufficient evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought.

4.  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 DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
