                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00130
            INDEX CODE 110.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

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

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the  records  to  be  in  error  or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support  of  his  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 at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial.  The applicant did not submit  any  new
evidence or identify any errors or injustices  that  occurred  in  the
discharge processing.  He provided no other facts warranting a  change
in his discharge.  Accordingly, they recommend his records remain  the
same and his request be denied.  He did not file a timely request.

AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A complete copy of the Air  Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the
applicant on 1 March 2002, for review and comment 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.    After a thorough review  of  the  evidence  of  record  and  the
applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his discharge should
be  upgraded  to  honorable.   We   find   no   impropriety   in   the
characterization  of  the  applicant's  discharge.   It  appears  that
responsible officials applied appropriate standards in  effecting  the
separation, and we do not  find  persuasive  evidence  that  pertinent
regulations were violated or that the applicant was not  afforded  all
the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge.   We  conclude,
therefore,  that   the   discharge   proceedings   were   proper   and
characterization of the discharge  was  appropriate  to  the  existing
circumstances.  The only  other  basis  upon  which  to  upgrade  this
discharge would be based on clemency.  However, the  applicant  failed
to provide documentation pertaining to  his  post-service  activities.
Should he provide documentary evidence pertaining to his  post-service
activities, we would be willing to  reconsider  his  appeal.   In  the
absence of such evidence, favorable action is not recommended.

_________________________________________________________________

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.

    He was separated from the Air Force on 15 July 2002. However, after reviewing the applicant’s request and the evidence of record, we find the narrative reason for his entry- level separation; i.e., entry-level performance and conduct, to be overly harsh.

    He received an honorable discharge and desires to reenter the Air Force. The reason for this action was because he failed his CDC on 20 June and 5 October 2001, scoring 64%, and 61% -- the minimum passing score was 65%. Additionally, we note that the applicant’s assigned RE code of 3A is a code that can be waived for prior service enlistment consideration, provided he meets all other requirements for enlistment under an existing prior service program.
