                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                 DOCKET NO:  98-03435
                             INDEX CODE:  108.00

                                  COUNSEL:  AMERICAN LEGION

                                  HEARING DESIRED:  NO


Applicant  requests  that  his  discharge  be  changed  to  a  medical
retirement and that the narrative reason be changed  from  “conditions
that interfere  with  military  service-not  disability-character  and
behavior disorder”  to  “bipolar,  depression  or  major  depression.”
Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated  applicant's  request  and
provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending  the  application
be denied (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinions were  forwarded  to  the
applicant for review and response (Exhibit D). Counsel's  response  to
the advisory opinion is at 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 opinions appear to be based on the evidence of  record
and have not been adequately rebutted by counsel.   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 Mr. Richard A. Peterson, Ms. Patricia D.  Vestal,
and Mr. Patrick R. Wheeler considered this  application  on  24 August
1999 in accordance with the provisions of Air  Force  Instruction  36-
2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
