                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-00809
            INDEX CODE  110.00
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His under other-than-honorable condition (UOTHC) discharge be upgraded
to honorable.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was offered no legal aid or counsel during his discharge.   He  was
discharged due to indebtedness below $300.

In support of his appeal, the applicant submitted a personal statement
and a copy of his DD Form 214.

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant's military personnel records were destroyed by fire in 1973.
 Therefore, the facts surrounding his separation from  the  Air  Force
cannot be verified.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.    The application was timely filed.

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.
