-                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  01-01091
            INDEX CODE 100.06
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment  eligibility  (RE)  code  and  narrative  reason  for
separation be changed.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He did not willfully leave out unfavorably information while preparing
his security clearance.  He filled the form out to  the  best  of  his
knowledge.

Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from  the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letters prepared by
the appropriate offices of the Air Force.  Accordingly,  there  is  no
need to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The Assistant Noncommissioned In Charge, Separation Procedures Branch,
AFPC/DPPRS, reviewed the application and  recommended  denial  stating
based upon the documentation in the file, they believe  the  discharge
was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge    regulation.      Airmen     are     given     entry-level
separation/uncharacterized service characterization when separation is
initiated in the first 180 days of  continuous  active  service.   The
Department of Defense determined if a member served less than 180 days
of continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and the
service  to  characterize  their  limited  service.   Therefore,   his
uncharacterized character  of  service  and  his  separation  code  is
correct and in accordance with Department of  Defense  and  Air  Force
Instructions.  An entry-level/uncharacterized separation should not be
viewed as negative and should not be  confused  with  other  types  of
separation.  The applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify
any errors or injustices that occurred in  the  discharge  processing.
Additionally,  he  provided  no  facts  warranting  a  change  in  his
separation code. Accordingly, they recommend his  records  remain  the
same and his request be denied.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

The Assistant Chief, Skills Management Branch, HQ AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed
the applicant’s request and states the Reenlistment  Eligibility  (RE)
code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable  discharge;  or
entry  level  separation  without  characterization  of  service”   is
correct.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations  were  forwarded  to  the
applicant on 15 June 2001, for review and  response  within  30  days.
However, as of this date,  no  response  has  been  received  by  this
office.

_________________________________________________________________

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  our  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.

    We are not persuaded by the evidence presented that the uncharacterized entry-level separation received by the former member should be changed to an honorable discharge. Rather, an entry-level separation with uncharacterized service is used in those cases where the member has not yet completed six months of service at the time separation proceedings were, for whatever reason, initiated. However, after a thorough review of the applicant's submission and the evidence of record, we see no...
