                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:            DOCKET NUMBER:  98-03507
                       INDEX CODE:  110

                       COUNSEL:  NONE

                       HEARING:  YES


The deceased former service member’s  widow,  herein  after  known  as
applicant, requests that her deceased husband’s discharge be  upgraded
to honorable.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.

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
the  deceased  former  service  member  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 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. Oscar A. Goldfarb, Mr.  Patrick  R.  Wheeler,
and Mr. Charlie E. Williams Jr. considered this application on 27 July
1999 in accordance with the provisions of Air  Force  Instruction  36-
2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

    There are currently no provisions of law for officers promoted to the grades of lieutenant colonel and above, who are medically disqualified for worldwide duty, to retire in grade with less than three years satisfactory service. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that he should be retired from the U. S. Air Force Reserve in the higher grade of colonel. We therefore agree with the recommendations of the Air Force and adopt the...
