IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-03243
INDEX CODE:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation on his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed to show he was
separated to attend school full time in an Officer Training Program.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The present narrative for reason encumbers a host of programs, some of
which include Officer Training School and the Early Release Program -
Professional Officer Course. A change of narrative for reason which
more accurately and concisely depicts his situation may make him
eligible for certain programs.
Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 February 1998.
Applicant, while serving in the grade of senior airman, was discharged
from the Air Force on 6 August 2000 under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (Officer Training Program),
with an honorable discharge. He served 2 years, 6 months and 3 days
total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Military Personnel Management Specialist, AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed the
application and states that there are no errors or irregularities
causing an injustice to the applicant. The separation complies with
directives in effect at the time of his discharge.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and states that he is in
concurrence with the findings. The narrative reason for separation is
disputed due to its general nature and that such a narrative is
ambiguous. Due to the fact that state and federal law strive to
function with exactness, this ambiguity becomes detrimental in
attempts to obtain financial aid and state funded support.
He states the currently assigned narrative reason for separation
assesses that he is to attend an Officer Training Program. He notes
that this generalization refers to a number of different possible
commissioning avenues. They include candidates who are released to
attend a ROTC program, to attend the Air Force Academy, and also those
chosen to attend Officer Training School.
He states that he has served in the enlisted branch of the USAF with
great pride, and soon will return to active duty with many aspirations
of serving and improving the force.
Applicant's complete response is attached at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice;
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
