RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-00908
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His general (under honorable conditions) discharge be changed to
honorable.
2. His reason for discharge be changed to “Convenience of the
Government.”
3. His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed.
4. His separation designation code be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge was unfair and an injustice was done unto him. There
are facts and issues that were not taken into consideration or were
withheld during the discharge process.
He states that he submitted a financial hardship package on 10 July
1998 and 11 August 1998, which was unfairly reviewed. His command
requested that he waive the discharge board to speed-up the discharge
proceedings based on the fact that he wanted to separate from the
military early. Maintaining multiple households impaired his ability
to discharge all his debt on time. His wife can not enter the United
States due to immigration problems and his mother is his dependent.
During 16 December 1996 through 24 May 1997, he was on Operation
Bootstrap attending undergraduate courses to complete his degree in
business management. He had to pay all college tuition, school fees,
and expenses on his own with no help from the military. He states
that all financial infractions were settled prior to his discharge
proceedings.
Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

C). Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this
Record of Proceedings.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant’s request for an upgrade of discharge, a change in reasons
for discharge, a change in RE code, and a change to his separation
designator number was denied by the AFDRB on 15 March 1999. In
accordance with policy, the application was forwarded to this Board
for further consideration.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant provided character letters which are attached at Exhibit
E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the decision of the AFDRB and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice;
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
