AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  98-01199 
COUNSEL:  NONE 

The applicant requests that his separation from the Air Force be 
changed  from  "Entry  Level  Separation"  to  "Honorable. 'I 
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.  Thomas  S.  Markiewicz,  Ms.  Rita  J. 
Maldonado, and Ms. Peggy E. Gordon considered this application on 
7 January  1999  in accordance with  the  provisions  of Air  Force 
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10, U.S.C. 1552.

550 C Street West Ste 11

-  Application for Correction of Military Records 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was separated fiom the Air Force 16 

Apr 98 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Entry level Performance and Conduct) with an 
uncharacterized discharge. He served 04 months and 22 days total active service. 

Requested Action.  The applicant is requesting his separation be changed to honorable 

discharge. 

Basis for Reauest.  Applicant states since his separation was for academic reasons and not 

disciplinary or something like that, he would like to have a clean record because he is thinking of 
coming back to the Armed Forces. 

Facts.  The applicant was notified by his commander on 02 Apr 98 that discharge action had 

been initiated against him for unsatisfactory entry level performance or conduct.  The commander 
indicated his action was being recommended because of applicant’s failure in block I1 of the 
Services SpecialistDiet Therapy Specialist Course with a score of 36% and 70% was the 
minimum passing score.  In addition, he failed block I11 with a score of 30% and 70% was the 
minimum pass score.  Finally, on 23 Mar 98 he was eliminated fiom the course. The commander 
advised applicant that if his recommendation is approved, that his discharge would be described as 
entry level separation and that‘he would be ineligible for reenlistment in the Air Force.  He was 
advised he had a right to consult counsel and the right to submit statements in his own behalf.  He 
waived his right to consulted counsel and did not submitted statements in his own behalf  On  10 
Apr 98, the discharge authority approved the Entry Level Separation.  Airmen are given entry 
level separatioduncharacterized service characterization when separation action is initiated 
against them in the first 180 days of continuous active service. 

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. 

J 

c 

Recommendation. Applicant did not identie any specific errors in the discharge processing nor 

provide facts which warrant a change in the discharge he received.  He did not serve on 
continuous active duty for the required 180 days which would allowed for an honorable 
discharge.  Accordingly, we recommend applicant’s request be denied.  He has filed a timely 
request.
