            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His records be corrected to  reflect  that  he  was  commissioned  a  second
lieutenant.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His discharge records should indicate the rank  of  second  lieutenant.   He
was sworn in and commissioned as a second lieutenant in  the  Air  Force  in
April 1976 after  completing  two  (2)  years  in  the  AF  Reserve  Officer
Training Corp  (AFROTC).   After  completing  the  AFROTC  training  he  was
discharged due to a reduction in  force.   He  later  received  a  discharge
certificate that indicated his rank as a second lieutenant,  which  he  lost
during a move.

In support of his request, applicant provided a personal statement,  a  copy
of Reserve Order CC-5317,  Department  of  the  Air  Force  HQ  Air  Reserve
Personnel Center, a copy of DD Form 4, Enlistment Contract-Armed  Forces  of
the United States, a  copy  of  Training,  a  copy  of  a  letter  from  the
Department of the Air Force, and a copy of his college transcript.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The  applicant  enlisted  in  the  Air  Force  Reserves  (USAFR)  on       4
September 1974, as an AFROTC cadet.  On 14 July  1975,  he  was  disenrolled
and discharged from AFROTC program as a result of the Air Force  requirement
to reduce officer strength.  His rank  at  the  time  of  disenrollment  was
airman basic and he was issued a discharge order and  certificate  with  his
rank.

_________________________________________________________________


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

HQ ARPC/DPP recommends denial.  After  reviewing  the  applicant’s  records,
there is no indication he was ever commissioned as an officer in either  the
Air Force or the Air Force Reserves.

The DPP evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 10  Jul
03, for review and response 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 error or injustice.   Evidence  has  not  been  provided  which
would lead us to believe that  the  rules  of  the  applicable  regulations,
which implement the law, were inappropriately applied or that he was  denied
rights to which he was entitled.  Therefore, we agree with the  opinion  and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility  and  adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant  has  not
been the victim of an error or injustice.   In  the  absence  of  persuasive
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the  relief
sought in this application.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
