AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECO D OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NO: 98-01928
COUNSEL: NONE
OCT 2 9 1998
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that her general discharge be upgraded to an
honorable discharge. Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) denied applicant's
request on 18 June 1998.
In accordance with policy, the
application was forwarded to this Board for further consideration
(Exhibit C). The decision of the AFDRB 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 AFDRB Brief 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. Michael P. Higgins, Mr. Steven A. Shaw,
and Ms. Ann L. Heidig considered this application on 6 October
1998 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction
36-2603 and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
