IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-02114
                 INDEX CODE:  135

                 COUNSEL:  NONE

                 HEARING DESIRED:  YES

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  His records be corrected to reflect that from April  1989  through
April 1993, a security clearance has never been denied,  suspended  or
revoked, for access to a restricted or secured area.

2.  His records be purged of any unfavorable action taken against  him
by an individual, organization, or secured area and  that  he  has  no
record of having resigned  from  an  organization  which  believed  he
committed deception.

3.  He be returned to an active participating status in the Air  Force
Reserve until such time that he is ready to retire or when he  reaches
his mandatory retirement date.

4.  He   receive   retirement   points   to   complete    satisfactory
retention/retirement years for 1997 and 1998.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was wrongfully accused of deceptive actions regarding his  security
clearance status and subjected to several unwarranted and  unfavorable
actions, including his resignation, under duress, from an organization
and the revocation of his security  clearance.   The  18  August  1994
revocation  was  invalidated  in  1997  and  expunged.   The  security
clearance was not reinstated because he was involuntarily placed  into
an inactive Reserve status.  Applicant alleges  that  records  of  the
wrongful actions supporting the 1994 revocation, and  reiterations  of
the records, still exist.

In support of his appeal, applicant submits  a  copy  of  the  Summary
Report of  Inquiry  (SROI),  dated  6  February  1998  and  additional
documentation.

Applicant’s submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from  the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared  by
the appropriate Air Force  office  of  primary  responsibility  (OPR).
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record  of
Proceedings.

In addition to the statement of facts, a copy of the Secretary of  the
Air  Force   Personnel   Council   (SAFPC)   action,   concerning   an
Administrative Discharge Board with regard to the applicant, dated  29
July 1999, is attached at TAB 1.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Staff Judge Advocate, HQ ARPC/JA,  reviewed  the  application  and
concludes that in their opinion, the application  fails  to  meet  the
burden of proof that an  error  or  injustice  has  occurred  and  the
applicant has failed to produce any evidence at all that would require
the AFBCMR to direct favorable  consideration  to  the  his  requests.
They recommend denial.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit  C.


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
28 December  1998  for  review  and  response  within  30  days.   The
applicant submitted a  seven  page  response  and  concludes  that  he
believes the AFBCMR will  recognize  the  preponderance  of  evidence,
which reveals the wrongful actions and injustices and  his  Air  Force
Reserve career have suffered,  as  justifiable  reason  to  grant  his
request for corrections.

Applicant’s response is attached at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing  law
or regulations.

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice.  After thoroughly  reviewing
the evidence of record, to include  the  findings  of  the  Air  Force
Personnel Board, we are persuaded that applicant’s security  clearance
should be reinstated; that all documentation  regarding  any  and  all
unfavorable actions taken against him regarding the revocation of  his
security clearance be removed from his  records;  he  be  returned  to
active participating status,  and  he  receive  sufficient  retirement
points to reflect satisfactory years of Federal service to the date of
this Board.  In coming to our  decision,  we  relied  heavily  on  the
findings and recommendations  of  the  Personnel  Board  to  terminate
administrative  discharge  proceedings  against  applicant   and   the
6 February 1998 Summary Report of Investigation.  In our opinion, this
entire case has been mishandled from the beginning.  Additionally,  we
note that despite all the unusual circumstances surrounding this case,
applicant was promoted to the grade of lieutenant colonel in 1994  and
eventually regained his security clearance.  In view of  the  totality
of the circumstances of this case, we  believe  all  doubt  should  be
resolved in favor of the applicant and recommend that  his  record  be
corrected to the extent indicated below.
