IN THE MATTER OF:
__I_ COUNSEL: NONE
RECORD F PR ZEEDI PI
DOCKET NUMBER: 98-00061
AUG 1 9 1998
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant rezuests that his records be corrected to reflect that
he completed his full term of service; and/or his narrative
reason for separation be changed to convenience of the government
under the early release program. 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 Mr. Douglas J. Heady, Mr. Joseph G. Diamond,
and Mr. Henry Romo, Jr. considered this application on 11 Aug 98
in accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-
2603 and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR
FROM: HQ AFPCDPPRS
550 C Street West Ste 11
Randolph AFB TX 78150-4713
The applicant, while serving in the grade of senior airman, was separated from the Air Force 06
Aug 97 under the provisions of AFR 39-10 (Voluntary-Miscellaneous Reasons) with an
Honorable discharge. He served 05 years, 08 months total active service.
Reauested Action. The applicant is requesting his DD Form 214 be corrected to reflect
completion of first 111 term of service or release for the convenience of the government under an
early release program.
Basis for Reauest. Applicant claims the present status of his DD Form 214 wrongllly denies
his eligibility for UCX benefits.
Facts. The applicant voluntarily requested early separation from the Air Force for
miscellaneous reasons and the request was approved for his separation to be effective 06 Aug 97.
The Air Force approved just what he ask for at the time of his application. His enlistment
contract (DD Form 4) confirms that he enlisted for six (6) years and he requested voluntary early
separation at the 5 years and 08 months point and therefore, did not complete his first full term of
service. In addition, he was not separated under an early release program for the convenience of
the government.
Discussion. This case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or
irregularities causing an injustice to the applicant. His 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.
9800061
Recommendation. Applicant did not identify any specific errors in the discharge processing nor
provide facts which warrant a change in his reason for separation or the removal of the statement
that he did not complete his first fill term of service. Accordingly, we recommend applicant’s
request be denied. He has filed a timely request.

MEMORANDUM FOR SAFBCMR
FROM: HQ USAF/DPPCL
SUBJECT: Application for Correction of Military Records -
18 March 1998
The attached file is forwarded to you for final action. Our office has primary
responsibility for establishing Air Force policy on unemployment compensation for ex-
servicemembers (UCX). We interpret the law and determine which separation narratives fall
within the statutory eligibility criteria.
Title 5, United States Code, is the legal basis for Air Force policy. It establishes basic
UCX eligibility by providing conditions of separation that would qualifj for unemployment
compensation. Members who separate without completing their first full term must have
separated for convenience of the government under an early release program; hardship; medical
disqualification, service incurred injury/disability, parenthood or pregnancy; or inaptitude or
nersonalitv disorder. The Air Force determines which senaration narratives would aualifv for
‘UCX undh these criterion. B e p a r a t
unemployment benefits.
i o n m k i v e is not among those dat qThe applicant voluntarily requested early separation from the Air Force by submitting an AF Form 3 1 which indicated her reason for requesting early separation was miscellaneous reason. However, with the applicant’s desire to separate 01 Jan 98 (as indicated in her application), she still would not have been eligible for a separation “to attend school” because her normal expiration term of service (ETS) was 980328, more than 90 days allowed by Air Force Instructions. The Air Force approved...

Separations from the Air Force based on those reasons would be detailed on the DD Form 214 as reasons for separation, and for ex-service-members who did not complete their first full term of service, a “Miscellaneous” separation generally would not serve as an exception for qualifying for UCX. Had she realized the importance of the narrative reason for discharge, she would have filed for early separation with her main reason, that being education. In order to provide the relief she seeks,...
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C). 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 records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and appropriate action was taken.
The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C) . No other characterization of service is possible under law for service members separated within the first 6 months of entry. Applicant served only 20 days and therefore, the uncharacterized discharge is correct and in accordance with Department of Defense and Air Force directives.

On 15 December 2004, he was separated under the provisions of the Air Force Shaping Program, Phase II, AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (miscellaneous/general reasons) from the Air Force with an honorable discharge. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his reason for separation should be changed. We therefore agree with the recommendation of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for...
The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and provided advisory opinions to the Board recommending the application be denied (Exhibit C) . Further, the issues raised in this application were all raised in some form during the processing of the original actions, and were discussed in the legal reviews at that time. Due to the fact the applicant had more than 20 years active service, the action to DFR was processed as a “dual action” case so that consideration of...

___________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: The Chief Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, is of the opinion that, in order to correct an injustice of improperly labeling the applicant’s disorder, the applicant’s request for change of reason for discharge should be granted. The applicant was given an entry level separation with uncharacterized service after a mental health evaluation had determined that he suffered from an adjustment disorder of such...
