RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-03343
INDEX CODE: A50.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that his under other than honorable conditions
(UOTHC) discharge be upgraded. Applicant's submission is at Exhibit
A.
On 19 Feb 76, The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) considered
the applicant’s request for a review of his discharge. The AFDRB
concluded that the discharge should not be changed.
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.
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 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 Ms. Patricia J. Zarodkiewicz, Ms. Dorothy P.
Loeb, and Ms. Olga M. Crerar considered this application on 23 Mar 99
in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and
the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

While the RE code assigned to the applicant, at the time, was correct and in accordance with regulation, we believe it would be an injustice for applicant to continue to suffer its effects in the way of enlistment opportunities in the armed forces in view of his accomplishments since leaving the service and the support provided with his application. Accordingly, we recommend that the records be corrected as indicated below. Exhibit B.
