                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:                 DOCKET NO: 99-01491
                             INDEX CODE 121.01
                             COUNSEL: None

                             HEARING DESIRED: No


Applicant requests his travel orders be amended to authorize a stop at
Walter Reed Hospital rather  than  being  charged  leave  during  this
period.  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).   Applicant's  response
to the advisory opinion, which he had addressed to his Senator, 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. We  noted  the  DD  Form  689,
dated 9 November 1998, and its written  comment  indicating  that  the
applicant  “needed  to  be  present  for  serial  Evaluation  due   to
exacerbation of  his  illness  from  11-2-98  through  11-13-98.”  The
applicant contends the ophthalmologist at Fairchild  AFB  (applicant’s
retirement location) instructed him to stay at Walter  Reed  Hospital.
However, the available records do not reflect, and the applicant  does
not provide, evidence that he was hospitalized, on medical hold, or on
convalescent leave.  The  available  evidence  of  record  appears  to
indicate that he was on leave status from 1-14 November 1998,  had  an
appointment at Walter Reed during some time around the  9th,  and  was
treated on an outpatient basis. If  the  applicant  has  some  medical
records substantiating the fact that he was hospitalized, or placed on
medical hold/convalescent leave, or can provide a statement  from  the
Fairchild ophthalmologist, we would be willing to reconsider his case.
Absent such persuasive evidence, however, 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  Mrs.  Barbara  A.  Westgate,  Mr.  William  H.
Anderson, and Mr. Philip Sheuerman considered this  application  on  1
December  1999  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Air   Force
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.




                             BARBARA A. WESTGATE
