_________________________________________________________________

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 office of the Air Force.   Accordingly,  there  is  no  need  to
recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Military Personnel Mgmt  Spec,  Separations  Branch,  Dir  of  Personnel
Program Management, AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed the  application  and  states  that
this case has been reviewed for  separation  processing  and  there  are  no
errors or  irregularities  causing  an  injustice  to  the  applicant.   His
discharge complies with directives in effect at the time of  his  discharge.
The records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and  appropriate
action was taken.  Applicant did not identify any
specific errors  in  the  discharge  processing  nor  provide  facts,  which
warrant a change  in  the  separation  reason.   Therefore,  they  recommend
denial of applicant's request.

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

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 22 February 1999, a copy of the Air Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to
the applicant for review and response within 30 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 timely filed.

3.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice.  After reviewing the  evidence  of
record, we note that the applicant requested an early separation based  upon
acceptance into the Colorado State Police Academy with a  class  start  date
of 19 October 1998.  We also note that he has provided a statement from  the
Northeastern Junior College indicating he was  enrolled  in  the  1998  Fall
semester.  In view of the foregoing, we are of the opinion that it  was  the
applicant’s intention to attend school, and  believe  the  narrative  reason
and separation code on his DD Form 214 should  be  changed.   Therefore,  we
recommend the applicant’s DD Form 214 be corrected to the  extent  indicated
below.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air  Force  relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 15 October 1998, he was  released
from active duty under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, To Attend School,  and
issued a separation program designator (SPD) code of “MCF.”
