                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  97-02095
            INDEX CODE:  A67.90

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES


Applicant requests that his general discharge be upgraded to honorable
and his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “2B” be changed to allow
him to reenlist in the military.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit
A.

The Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) considered and denied the
applicant’s request for upgrade of his discharge on 27 Jun 97.  On  22
Mar 00, the applicant’s case was closed administratively by the  AFDRB
and, in accordance with policy, the application was forwarded to  this
Board for further consideration (Exhibit  C).   The  AFDRB  Brief  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  that  his  general
discharge be upgraded to  honorable  and  the  available  evidence  of
record, we find insufficient evidence of error or injustice to warrant
corrective action.  The decision of the AFDRB appears to be  based  on
the evidence of  record  and  has  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant.
Regarding his request that his  RE  code  be  changed,  we  note  that
members separated  from  the  Air  Force  are  furnished  an  RE  code
predicated upon the quality of their service and the circumstances  of
their  separation.   Applicant's  RE  code  accurately   defines   the
circumstances of his separation.  In view of  the  above,  and  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 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 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. David W. Mulgrew, Mr. Christopher Carey,  and
Ms. Kathy L. Boockholdt considered this application  on  27 Jun 00  in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction  36-2603  and
the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.
