                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  00-02589
            INDEX NUMBER:110.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His entry-level separation be upgraded to an honorable discharge,  his
reason for separation be changed to “convenience  of  the  government”
and his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to an RE code 1,
with a corresponding separation program designator (SPD).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the  records  to  be  in  error  or
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 office of the Air Force.   Accordingly,  there  is  no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Separations Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed this  application  and
recommended denial.  A complete copy of the evaluation is  at  Exhibit
C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the  applicant  on
27 Oct 00 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit  D).   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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice.  We found no  evidence  that
responsible officials applied inappropriate standards in effecting the
applicant’s discharge, that pertinent  regulations  were  violated  or
that the applicant was not afforded all the rights to  which  entitled
at the time of discharge.  Therefore,  we  do  not  believe  favorable
consideration of the applicant’s stated requests would be  appropriate
on the basis of the evidence provided.  Nevertheless, we believe  that
there  may  have  been  mitigating  circumstances  that  affected  the
applicant’s performance while in basic training.  In this  regard,  it
appears that the applicant  was  led  to  believe  that  he  would  be
performing duty in a field other than the one he was guaranteed at the
time of enlistment; i.e., radio and television broadcasting.  In  view
of this, and noting how well he  has  adapted  to  civilian  life,  we
believe some form of relief is warranted.  We therefore recommend that
the narrative reason for his separation and  corresponding  separation
code be  changed  to  reflect  “Secretarial  Authority.”   We  further
recommend that his Reenlistment Eligibility Code be changed  to  “3K,”
which is a code that  can  be  waived  for  prior  service  enlistment
consideration, provided he is otherwise qualified for enlistment under
an existing prior service program.  We believe these  actions  provide
the applicant fitting and proper relief.

___________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the Department of the  Air  Force
relating   to   APPLICANT,   be   corrected   to   show   that   on
12 January 1994, he received an entry level  separation  under  the
provisions of AFR 39-10, (Secretarial Authority),  with  Separation
Program Designator (SPD) code “KFF,” and  Reenlistment  Eligibility
(RE) code “3K.”
