AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  98-01633 

DEC  1 0  1998)' 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant requests that his uncharacterized discharge be upgraded 
to  honorable  and  his  Reenlistment  Eligibility  (RE)  code  be 
changed to RE1.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 

The  appropriate Air  Force offices evaluated applicant's request 
and  provided  advisory  opinions  to  the  Board  recommending  the 
application  be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The  advisory opinions were 
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 opinions 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,  Ms.  Ann  L. 
Heidig, and Mr. Kenneth L. Reinertson considered this application 
on  19  November  1998,  in accordance with  the  provisions  of  Air 
Force  Instruction  36-2603, and  the  governing  statute, 10 U.S.C. 
1552.
