AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-00581  AUG  1 9  a 

COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant requests that her records be corrected to reflect that 
she was  medically  retired  rather than  assigned  to  the  Retired 
Reserve Section.  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 Mr. Douglas J. Heady, MIP.  Joseph G. Diamond, 
and Mr. Henry Romo, Jr. considered this application on 11 Aug 98 
in accordance with the provisions  of Air  Force  Instruction 36- 
2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
