AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  9 8 - 0 0 1 6 2  
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARXNG DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  he  would  like  to  have  his  discharge 
papers reflect that he  did serve in the Air  Force.  Applicant's 
submission is at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate  Air  Force  office  evaluated  applicant's request 
and provided  an advisory opinion to  the Board  recommending the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory  opinion  was 
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 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 Mrs. Barbara A. Westgate, Mr.  Frederick R. 
Beaman 111, and Mr. Steven A. Shaw considered this application on 
7  July  1 9 9 8 ,   in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air  Force 
Instruction 36-2603 and the 

governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPRS 

550 C Street West Ste 11 
Randolph AFB TX  78 150-47 13 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of corporal, was discharged fiom the Army of the 

United States on 02 Oct 43 with an honorable discharge. 

Reawested Action.  The applicant is requesting that his discharge certificate be changed to 

indicate that he served in the Air  Force. 

Basis for Request.  Applicant states he served with the Army Air Corps which eventually 

became the Air Force in Sep 47.  He desires that his discharge papers reflect that he did serve in 
the Air Force. 

Discussion,  Applicant’s master personnel record contains only limited information and a 
review of the W.D.A.G,O. Form 55 issued to him on 02 Oct 43 indicates he was honorably 
discharged fiom the Army of the United States. We can find no indications that he was a member 
of the Army Air Corps and if he was a member of that branch of the Army, his discharge would 
show that he was discharged fkom the Army of the United States since the Air Force had not been 
formed as a separate branch of service at that time.. 

Recommendation. Denial.  Appknt was issued the correct discharge certificate for his 

honorable service with the Army of the United States.  He has not filed a timely request.
