RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AUG 1 9 1998
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NUMBER: 98-00491
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
Applicant requests that his narrative reason for separation be
changed to read "TO Attend College, rather than IIMiscellaneous
Reasons.Il Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force office evaluated applicant's request
and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C). The advisory opinion was
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 opinion 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, M?. 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.

The applicant, while serving in the grade of senior airman, was separated from the Air Force 01
Oct 97 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Voluntary-Miscellaneous Reasons) with an
Honorable discharge. He served 03 years, 11 months 07 days total active service.
Reauested Action. The applicant is requesting the separation reason be changed from
“miscellaneous/general reasons” to “attend school.”
Facts. The applicant voluntarily requested early separation from the Air Force by submitting an
AF Form 3 1 which indicated his reason for requesting early separation was to get his homestead
taken care of before the next semester of college starts and to find work, get unpacked and settled
in. His application was submitted according to AFI-36-3208, paragraph 3.15 which is the
provision for a miscellaneous/general reasons separation. In order for him to be eligible for early
separation to attend school his request would have had to be submitted according to paragraph
3.8 of AFI 36-3208 which requires that usually, the date of separation should not be more than 10
days before the class start date. In addition, applicants must show they have been accepted for a
hll-time course of instructions in a recognized Institution of higher education or Vocational or
Technical School. There is no evidence that the applicant submitted the required information
therefore, his only option, was to submit the miscellaneous/general reasons request which he
submitted on 06 May 97 with a requested separation date of 01 Oct 97. The request was
approved for his separation to be effective 01 Oct 97. The Air Force approved just what he ask
for at the time of his application. The reason given in the majority of applications submitted for
early released from active duty under the miscellaneous separation provision is to attend school.
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.
Recommendation. Applicant did not identifL any specific errors in the discharge processing nor
provide facts which warrant a change in the separation reason. Accordingly, we recommend
applicant’s request be denied. He has filed a timely request.

The 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...
