                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:                 DOCKET NO:  99-00332
                             INDEX CODE:  110.00

                                  COUNSEL:  NONE

                                  HEARING DESIRED:  NO


Applicant requests that his records be corrected to reflect a total of
51 combat  mission  flights  during  WWII,  his  overseas  service  be
annotated on his Report of Separation, the Air Medal with 9  Oak  Leaf
Clusters be reflected on his Report of Separation, and that  his  date
of birth on the 1948 Report of Separation be changed from 17 September
1917 to 17 September 1916.  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.

With regard to applicant’s date of birth, we noted that his  available
military personnel records reflect 17 September 1917 as  his  date  of
birth.   In  the  absence  of  evidence  to  corroborate   applicant’s
assertion that the year  should  be  1916,  we  are  unpersuaded  that
corrective action is appropriate at this time.

As to applicant’s request  concerning  his  combat  flights,  overseas
service and award, after careful consideration of his 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 Mr. Henry Romo Jr., Mr. Laurence M.  Groner,  and
Mr. Patrick R. Wheeler considered this application on 21 October  1999
in accordance with the provisions of Air  Force  Instruction  36-2603,
and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.



                                                   HENRY ROMO JR.
                                             Panel Chair
