                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                 DOCKET NO: 99-00164
                             INDEX CODE 107
                             COUNSEL: None

                             HEARING DESIRED: No

Applicant requests award of a short or long tour overseas ribbon and a
higher  disability  rating  than  he  received  on   separation.   His
submission is at Exhibit A.

The applicant’s request for the Air Force Overseas  Tour  Ribbon-Long,
was administratively corrected by HQ AFPC/DPPRRA on 25 May 1999 and  a
DD Form 215 reflecting this correction has been  appended  to  his  DD
Form 214. Therefore,  the  only  request  remaining  for  the  Board’s
consideration pertains to his disability rating. The appropriate   Air
Force offices evaluated this 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).  Applicant's responses to the advisory  opinions
are at Exhibit E.

After careful consideration of applicant's request  for  a  disability
rating and the available evidence  of  record,  we  find  insufficient
evidence of error or  injustice  to  warrant  corrective  action  with
respect to his medical condition.  The facts and  opinions  stated  in
the advisory opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record  and
have not been sufficiently 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 for a disability rating 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, Mr. Gregory H.  Petkoff,
and Ms. Melinda J. Loftin considered this application  on  4  November
1999 in accordance with the provisions of Air  Force  Instruction  36-
2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
