                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:            DOCKET NO: 99-03120

                             COUNSEL:  NONE

                             HEARING DESIRED:  NO

Applicant requests that his records be corrected to show that  at  the  time
of his retirement for length of service, he was diagnosed with  chordoma  of
the sacral spine.  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). The applicant’s  response  is  attached
at Exhibit E.

The application was not timely filed; however, it  is  in  the  interest  of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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.  The facts and opinions stated  in  the  advisory
opinion appear to be based on the evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been
adequately 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.  E.  David  Hoard,  and  Mr.
Clarence D. Long, III, considered  this  application  on  15 June  2000,  in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction  36-2603,  and  the
governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.
