                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-02024
            INDEX CODE:  137.00

      APPLICANT  COUNSEL:  JESSE LAW OFFICE

      SSN   HEARING DESIRED: No

Applicant requests his records  be  corrected  to  show  he  elected  former
spouse  coverage  under  the  Survivor  Benefit  Plan  (SBP).    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  returned
to applicant without action  until  such  time  as  he  submits  the  proper
documentation to establish former spouse coverage as he was  advised  to  do
in 3 August 2000.  (Exhibit B).  The advisory opinion was forwarded  to  the
applicant's counsel for review and response (Exhibit C).  As of  this  date,
no response has been received by this office.

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
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. David C. VanGasbeck, Ms. Patricia D.  Vestal,   and
Mr. Joseph A. Roj considered   this   application  on  6  February  2001  in
accordance with the provisions of Air Force  Instruction  36-2603,  and  the
governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

    Neither the applicant nor his former spouse submitted a request to change the election from spouse to former spouse during the required time frame. After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record, we believe that the applicant's records should be corrected to reflect that he elected former spouse coverage under the RCSBP within the required timeframe.
