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.

ob 

.- 

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.
