                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-01902

                 COUNSEL:  NONE

                 HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His separation code of KBK and reenlistment (RE) code of 2x be changed
in order to allow him to be eligible to  reenlist  in  the  Air  Force
Reserve.
_________________________________________________________________

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
4 October 1993 for a term of 4 years.  The applicant was separated for
completion of required active service with a separation  code  of  KBK
and a RE code of 2X on 3 October 1997 in  the  grade  of  airman.   He
served 4 years of total active service.

On 9 December 1995, the applicant  was  notified  of  his  commander’s
intent to impose nonjudicial punishment upon  him  for  the  following
offense:  for  treating,  with  disrespectful  language,  a   superior
noncommissioned officer.  He was reduced to airman, forfeiture of $223
and 10 days extra duty with suspension of  punishment  until  17  June
1996.  However, in March 1996 the nonjudicial punishment was  remitted
because on or about         12 February  1996  he  failed  to  obey  a
direct order to pay the balance on  his  government  American  Express
Travel card.  He was reduced  to  airman,  ordered  to  pay  $223  and
received 10 extra days of duty.

_________________________________________________________________

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.  Additionally, the applicant provided  no  facts
warranting a change in his narrative reason for separation. He has not
filed a timely request.

AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE recommended denial.   The  applicant  was  discharged  upon
completion of required active service with an honorable discharge  and
an RE code of 2X, because he was not selected for  reenlistment  under
the SRP.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Complete copies  of  the  Air  Force  evaluations  were  forwarded  to
applicant on 2 August 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.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an error or injustice.  After a  thorough  review  of
the  evidence  of  record  and  applicant’s  submission,  we  are  not
persuaded that his discharge separation and reenlistment  code  should
be changed.  Applicant’s contentions are duly noted;  however,  we  do
not find  these  uncorroborated  assertions,  in  and  by  themselves,
sufficiently persuasive to override the rationale provided by the  Air
Force.  Other than his own statement, applicant provides no persuasive
evidence that he was unfairly or incorrectly discharged.  We therefore
agree with  the  recommendations  of  the  Air  Force  and  adopt  the
rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that  the  applicant
has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an  error
or an injustice.  Therefore, we find no compelling basis to  recommend
granting the relief sought.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
