                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-03558
            INDEX CODE:  110.00
            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His  general  (under  honorable  conditions)  discharge   be   upgraded   to
honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He never received proper rehabilitation/support  to  overcome  his  problems
while on active duty.


In support of his request, applicant submits a copy  of  his  DD  Form  214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active  Duty,  and  an  endorsement
letter from The American Legion.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 22 July 1998, the applicant enlisted in the United States Air  Force  for
four years.  On 5 October 2000, the applicant was discharged with a  general
(under honorable conditions) discharge under the  provisions  of  Air  Force
Instruction 36-3208 (pattern of misconduct).   He  had  served  2  years,  2
months and 14 days on active duty.

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 at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be  denied.   DPPRS  states  that  the
applicant’s drinking problem was being treated while on active  duty.   This
was evident by his admission to  a  chemical  dependency  treatment  center.
DPPRS further states that he did not submit any  new  evidence  or  identify
any error or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.

The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Applicant provides an explanation of his actions and the circumstances  that
led to his disciplinary actions.  In closing, he requests to  appear  before
the Board so he may better explain the issues.

The applicant’s submission is at Exhibit E.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of probable error or injustice.  After  careful  consideration  of
the applicant’s request and the available evidence  of  record,  we  see  no
evidence of an error or injustice  that  would  warrant  corrective  action.
Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation  of  the  Air  Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis  for
our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.  Therefore, based on the available evidence of  record,  we  find
no  compelling  basis  to  recommend  granting   relief   sought   in   this
application.

4.  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 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.

___________________________________________________________________
