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.

    The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C) . No other characterization of service is possible under law for service members separated within the first 6 months of entry. Applicant served only 20 days and therefore, the uncharacterized discharge is correct and in accordance with Department of Defense and Air Force directives.
