                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2004-02249
            INDEX CODE:  110.02

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His narrative reason for separation, separation code, and reenlistment
(RE) code be changed to permit reentry into the military.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

At the time of his separation,  he  was  a  19-year-old  kid  who  was
immature and made a bad  choice.   He  would  greatly  appreciate  the
opportunity to aid his country in the war on terrorism and in Iraq.

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the US Air Force on 23  February  2000.   On  14
March 2000, his commander notified him that he  was  recommending  his
discharge from the Air Force for fraudulent entry.  The basis for  the
discharge was that the applicant had indicated on his  AF  Form  2030,
USAF Drug Certificate, he had used or experimented with marijuana  and
never used or possessed any illegal drug or narcotic.  On 23  February
2000, he certified he had not  used  any  drug,  including  marijuana,
since he originally completed the AF Form 2030.  On 25 February  2000,
he submitted a urine sample for drug testing.  On 10 March  2000,  his
specimen was  determined  positive  for  marijuana.   He  acknowledged
receipt of the discharge notification on 14 March 2000 and waived  his
rights to counsel and  to  submit  statements.   He  was  subsequently
discharged with an  uncharacterized  entry-level  discharge.   He  had
served for 28 days at the time of his discharge.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial noting that  the  applicant  provided  no
evidence to support his claim.  Nor did  the  applicant  identify  any
errors or injustices that may have occurred during the  processing  of
his discharge.  DPPRS states that the discharge  was  consistent  with
the  procedural  and  substantive  requirements   of   the   discharge
regulation and  that  it  was  within  the  sound  discretion  of  the
discharge authority.

DPPRS’s evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 6
August 2004 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  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of   the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case  and
appreciate his desire to serve; however, 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.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to  the  contrary,  we  find  no
compelling 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.
