                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:                 DOCKET NO: 98-02318
                             INDEX CODE 106.00
                             COUNSEL: None

                             HEARING DESIRED: Yes

Applicant requests that his 1983  general  discharge  be  upgraded  to
honorable and the narrative reason be  changed  to  “end  of  term  of
service or other appropriate reason.”  Applicant's  submission  is  at
Exhibit A.  [The applicant had originally applied  to  the  Air  Force
Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) in 1988;  however,  before  a  personal
appearance could be scheduled, the applicant withdrew his  appeal  and
the AFDRB administratively closed his case.]

The appropriate  Air Force office evaluated  applicant's  request  and
provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application
be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory  opinion  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). As  of  this  date,  no
response has been received by this office.  Pursuant  to  the  Board's
request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation indicated  that,  on  the
basis of the data furnished, they were  unable  to  locate  an  arrest
record (Exhibit E).

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 opinion 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 documentation provided with this case was sufficient to  give  the
Board a clear understanding of the  issues  involved  and  a  personal
appearance, with or without legal counsel, would not  have  materially
added to that understanding.  Therefore, the request for a hearing  is
not favorably considered.

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.  Gregory  W.
Den Herder, and Mr. Grover L. Dunn considered this application  on  15
April 1999 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction
36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
