                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00217
            INDEX CODE 110.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her bad conduct discharge be upgraded to an honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________

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 applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic  on
2 June 1999.  She was tried on 1 February 2000  by  a  general  court-
martial consisting of officers for possession and distribution of  LSD
in violation of Article 112a, UCMJ.  On 14 Dec 2001, the applicant was
discharged with a bad conduct discharge in the grade of airman  basic.
She served 1 year, 10 months and 28 days of active service.

The remaining 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:

AFLSA/JAJM  recommended  denial  of  relief  because  the  applicant's
contentions are without merit.  The applicant submitted a DD Form  149
dated 31 January 2002, but did not request a  specific  correction  of
error or injustice or provided a reason.  She  did  indicate  she  had
received a bad conduct discharged at a general court-martial.  She did
attach a discharge review application in which she requested  her  bad
conduct  discharge  be  changed  to  Honorable  discharge.   The  only
evidence she provided for consideration was a letter  of  appreciation
she received while on active duty.

The applicant pleaded  guilty  after  consultation  with  her  defense
counsel.  The convening authority reviewed her case and her appeal was
considered and denied by two  appellate  courts.   The  applicant  has
provided no evidence whatsoever of any injustice related to her court-
martial or discharge.  There is no merit to the applicant's claim  and
JAJM recommended that the Board deny the relief requested.

AFLS/JAJM 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 31 May 2002, for review and comment.  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 timely filed.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of material error  or  injustice.   After  being  court-
martial for possession and distribution  of  LSD,  the  applicant  was
discharged  with  a  bad  conduct  discharge.   It  appears  that  the
responsible officials applied appropriate standards in  effecting  the
discharge, and the applicant has not provided persuasive evidence that
pertinent regulations were violated or that she was not  afforded  all
the rights to which she was entitled.  The  applicant  has  failed  to
sustain her burden of demonstrating she suffered either an error or an
injustice and we recommend her request be denied.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of 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.

_________________________________________________________________
