                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00096
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His DD Form 214, Block 28, Narrative Reason for Separation,  be  changed  to
read “Officer Training Program - Separation is at  the  convenience  of  the
government” and Block 18, Remarks  Section,  add  the  statement  “Separated
into Professional Officer Course – Early Release Program.”

_________________________________________________________________

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 is 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 at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be  denied.   DPPRS  states  that  the
discharge was consistent with the procedural  and  substantive  requirements
of the discharge regulation.

The Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit B.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to  the  applicant
on 1 February 2002, for review and response.  As of this date,  this  office
has received no response.

_________________________________________________________________
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.   We  took  notice   of   the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case;  however,
we agree with the opinion and recommendation of  the  Air  Force  office  of
primary responsibility that his DD Form 214, Certificate of  Discharge  from
Active Duty, is consistent with the procedural and substantive  requirements
of the discharge regulation and adopt their rationale as the basis  for  our
conclusion that the applicant has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or
injustice.  Other than his own assertions, the  applicant  has  provided  no
evidence which, in our opinion, adequately refutes  the  assessment  of  his
case.  Therefore, in the absence of 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.

___________________________________________________________________
