AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NO: 9 8 - 0 1 8 8 1
COUNSEL : NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
FEB 1 2 1999
Applicant requests that her narrative reason for separation be
changed to "For The Good Of The, Government".
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, Mr. Richard A. Peterson, Mr. Walter J.
Hosey, and Mr. Vaughn E. Schlunz considered this application on
10 February 1999, in accordance with the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

Based on all the facts presented by the applicant, DPPAES believes she was well aware at her time of entry into active duty that she was not eligible to be enrolled into the MGIB.
