                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1998-01567

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His discharge be upgraded to honorable.

_________________________________________________________________

RESUME OF CASE:

On 29 September 1998, the Board considered the applicant’s request that  his
general discharge be upgraded to honorable.  The  Board  found  insufficient
evidence of an error or  injustice  and  denied  the  application.   For  an
accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the  application,  and
the rationale of the earlier decision  by  the  Board,  see  the  Record  of
Proceedings at Exhibit F.

In a DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge or Dismissal  from
the Armed Forces of the United States, dated 8 November 2002, the  applicant
requests  reconsideration  of  his  application  and   provides   additional
documentation (Exhibit G).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  After thoroughly  reviewing  the  evidence  of  record  and  noting  the
additional documentation submitted by the applicant, we find no evidence  of
error  or  injustice.   In  this  respect,  we  note  that  the  applicant’s
discharge  appears  to  be  in  compliance  with  the  governing  Air  Force
Instruction in effect at the time of his separation and he was afforded  all
the rights to which entitled.  We also note that, on 14 May 1998, the  AFDRB
considered his request that his general discharge be upgraded  to  honorable
and found  no  evidence  of  inequity  or  impropriety  that  would  justify
changing his discharge.  The applicant has provided no evidence to  indicate
that his separation was inappropriate.  There  being  insufficient  evidence
to the contrary, we find no  compelling  basis  to  recommend  granting  the
relief sought.


2.  We also find insufficient evidence to warrant a recommendation that  the
discharge be upgraded on the basis of  clemency.   We  have  considered  the
applicant’s overall quality of service, the  events  that  precipitated  the
discharge, and available evidence related  to  his  post-service  activities
and accomplishments.  On  balance,  we  do  not  believe  that  clemency  is
warranted.

3.  The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been  shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will  materially  add  to
our understanding of the issues involved.   Therefore,  the  request  for  a
hearing is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the additional  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.
