_________________________________________________________________
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.

He was separated from the Air Force on 15 July 2002. However, after reviewing the applicant’s request and the evidence of record, we find the narrative reason for his entry- level separation; i.e., entry-level performance and conduct, to be overly harsh.

AF | BCMR | CY2007 | BC-2006-03054
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...
