_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her general  (under  honorable  conditions)  discharge  be  upgraded  to  an
honorable discharge.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

There were unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstances  that  lead  to  her
discharge.

She states she performed her duties above standards, participated in on  and
off duty activities, and was dedicated to the Air  Force.   She  was  young,
married, divorced and a mother.

Applicant's complete 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  Brief  prepared  by  the
Examiner for the Air Force  Discharge  Review  Board  (AFDRB)  (Exhibit  C).
Accordingly, there is no need to  recite  these  facts  in  this  Record  of
Proceedings.

Pursuant to the  Board’s  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of  Investigation,
Washington, D.C., was unable to identify with  arrest  record  on  basis  of
information furnished.  Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 15 November 1996, applicant’s request for an  upgrade  of  discharge  was
denied by the AFDRB.  Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was  forwarded  to  the  applicant  on  3
November 1998, for review and response  within  thirty  days.   As  of  this
date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.    The application was not timely filed; however, it is in  the  interest
of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.    We find no impropriety  in  the  characterization  of  the  applicants
discharge.   It  appears  that  responsible  officials  applied  appropriate
standards in effecting  the  separation,  and  we  do  not  find  persuasive
evidence that pertinent regulations were violated or that the applicant  was
not afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge.   We
conclude  therefore,  that  the  discharge  proceedings   were   proper   in
characterization of the  discharge  and  was  appropriate  to  the  existing
circumstances.  In view of the above, we agree with  the  AFDRB’s  rationale
as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been  the  victim
of an error or injustice.  Therefore, in the  absence  of  evidence  to  the
contrary we find no basis to recommend granting the relief  sought  in  this
application.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented  did  not  demonstrate
the existence of probable material error or injustice; that the  application
was denied without a personal appearance;  and  that  the  application  will
only be reconsidered  upon  the  submission  of  newly  discovered  relevant
evidence not considered with this application.
