AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER  OF: 

DOCKET NO: 97-01826  (Case 2) 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

I 

Applicant  requests that  the  narrative  reason  for separation be 
changed from marginal performer to convenience of the government; 
that his reenlistment eligibility  (RE) code of 2P be change to a 
1; and that his separation code of JEM be changed.  Applicant's 
submission is at Exhibit A. 

The appropriate Air  Force offices evaluated applicant's request 
and  provided  advisory  opinions  to  the  Board  recommending  the 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C )  .  The  advisory opinions were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient evidence  of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated  in the  advisory opinions appear to be  based  on 
the evidence of  record and have not been rebutted by applicant. 
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members of the Board Ms. Martha Maust, Mr. Joseph G. Diamond, and 
Mr.  Frank  J. Colson  considered  this  application  on  14  January 
1998 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 
36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U . S . C .   1552.

Facts.  On 01 Apr 8 1, applicant was notified by his commander that involuntary discharge 

action be initiated against him for his failure to attain the required job skill proficiency to 
advance to the three skill level in two different career fields.  The commander advised that he had 
been counseled, given instructions and briefed on numerous occasions the responsibilities 
inherent in his M S C ,  all with little or no improvement on his part.  The applicant was advised 
that if he desired to remain in the Air Force, he could submit statements in his own behalf and

Discussion.  This case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or 

irregularities causing an injustice to the applicant.  The discharge complies with directives in 
effect at the time of his discharge.  The records indicate member’s military service was reviewed 
and appropriate action was taken. 

Recommendation.  Applicant did not identi@ any specific errors in the discharge processing 

nor provide facts which warrant a change in his reason for separation, a change in his 
reenlistment code assigned, or change in his separation code.  Accordingly, we recommend 
applicant’s request be denied.  He has not filed a timely request.
