		COUNSEL:  NONE
		HEARING DESIRED: NO

	 

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1. His entry level separation be changed.

2. His separation (SPD) code of “JFC” (Erroneous Entry (Other)) 
be changed.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes his characterization of service and separation code 
is an error, but it is not his fault.  He would like his records 
corrected so that he can reenter into the Air Force.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal 
statement.

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 11 Oct 11.  
The applicant’s commander notified him that he was recommending 
him for discharge for Erroneous Enlistment; citing that he had a 
law violation that was not documented on his security 
questionnaire.  He acknowledged receipt of the discharge 
notification and waived his rights to submit statements in his 
own behalf.  He received an entry level discharge on 7 Dec 11 
after serving 1 month and 27 days on active duty.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  The applicant’s service 
characterization is correct as reflected on his DD Form 214, 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.  His 
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive 
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the 
discharge authority’s discretion.  Additionally, airmen are 
given an entry level separation and uncharacterized service when 
separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous 
active service.  

The complete DPSOR 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 10 Jul 13 for review and comment within 30 days.  
As of this date, this office has received no response.

________________________________________________________________

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.  In this 
respect, the evidence of record indicates the applicant was 
given an entry level separation and a SPD code of “JFC” for his 
erroneous entry into the Air Force.  He has provided no evidence 
which would lead us to believe his entry level separation was 
improper or contrary to the provisions of the governing 
instruction, or the SPD code was not appropriately assigned.  In 
view of the foregoing, and in the absence of evidence to the 
contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to recommend 
favorable action on the applicant’s request that his entry-level 
separation and SPD code be changed.

________________________________________________________________
_

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.
