                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-00621

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His involuntary release from active  duty  due  to  medical  condition
considered to have existed prior to service (EPTS) be set  aside,  and
he  either  be  given  a  disability  discharge  with  entitlement  to
disability severance pay or a disability retirement.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

unjust and the evidence submitted in support  of  the  appeal  are  at
Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from  the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared  by
the appropriate offices of the Air Force.  Accordingly,  there  is  no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

recommended denial.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________



APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 10 November 2000, complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days.  As
of this date, no response has been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies  provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

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

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error  or  injustice.   After    a  thorough
review of the evidence of record and applicant’s  submission,  we  are
not  persuaded  that  his  records  should  be  changed.   Applicant’s
contentions are noted; however, we do not  find  these  uncorroborated
assertions, in and by themselves, sufficiently persuasive to  override
the rational provided by the Air Force.   Applicant  has  provided  no
persuasive evidence that his prior to service  medical  condition  was
improperly rated and processed at  the  time  of  his  discharge.   We
therefore agree with the recommendations of the Air  Force  and  adopt
the rational  expressed  as  the  basis  for  our  decision  that  the
applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either
an error or an injustice.  Therefore, in the  absence  of  substantial
evidence to the contrary, we find no  compelling  basis  to  recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
