                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS

         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00201
            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, DPPRS 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 copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant  for
review and comment.  His spouse provided a written  statement  in  the
applicant’s behalf.

The applicant’s spouse's complete response 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 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
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.

    The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman, was discharged from the Air Force on 13 May 1981 under the provisions of AFM 39-12 (Misocnduct- Drug Abuse - Board), with an undesirable discharge. In this case, the applicant provided no facts warranting an upgrade of the discharge he received. Therefore, we agree with opinions and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
