AIR  FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  98-02267  !?JE 
COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  her  entry  level  separation  be  changed, 
her uncharacterized discharge changed to honorable, and narrative 
rea%on  for  separation  changed. 
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,  Ms.  Charlene  M.  Bradley,  Ms.  Peggy  E. 
Gordon,  and Mr.  Terry A.  Yonkers  considered  this  application on 
16 December 1998, 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, Suite 1 1  
Randolph AFB TX  78150-4713 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman first class, was separated from the Air 

Force on 06 Mar 97 under the provisions of AFI 36-3212 (Entry Level Separation-Disability, 
Severance Pay) with an uncharacterized discharge.  She served 04 months 28 days active service. 

Requested Action.  The applicant is requesting her entry level separation be changed to 

discharged since she had to wait two months in order to be discharged due to the Medical Review 
Board.  She request her uncharacterized discharge be changed to honorable discharge because she 
did nothing wrong.  In addition, she request her narrative reason for separation be changed since 
she did not receive disability severance pay. 

Conclusion and Recommendation.  Denial.  Airmen are given entry level 

separatioduncharacterized service characterization when separation action is initiated in the first 
180 days of continuous active service.  Air Force and Department of Defense Instructions require 
each item on the DD Form 214 to be entered as correctly shown on applicant’s DD Form 214.  In 
severance 
addition, her narrative reason for separation is correct although she was not entitled to 
pay authorized under Title 10 USC 1212 since she served less than six months service. 
She has 
filed a timely request.
