AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: 02-00437
INDEX CODE 110.02
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her 2002 entry-level separation be changed to an honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts relevant facts pertaining to this application,
extracted from the applicant's military records (Exhibit B), are
contained in the official document provided in the applicant’s
submission (Exhibit A) and in the letter prepared by the appropriate
office of the Air Force (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS provided their rationale for recommending denial.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 5 Apr 02 for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The applicant was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded
that her entry-level separation should be characterized as an
honorable discharge. The applicant had 5 months and 10 days of active
service. Airmen are given entry-level separation without
characterization when discharge is initiated in the first six months
of continuous service. The Department of Defense determined it would
be unfair to characterize such limited service. The applicant’s
uncharacterized service is correct and her entry-level separation
should not be construed as negative or confused with other types of
separation. Therefore, in view of the above, we find no compelling
basis to recommend granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of 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.

However, her uncharacterized discharge should not be changed as it reflects her separation before completing a period of service (i.e., 180-days of continuous active service) that would allow an honorable characterization. In addition, AFPC/DPPRS recommends changing the applicant’s separation code and narrative reason for separation to “JFF - Secretarial Authority.” AFPC/DPPRS states that the applicant’s discharge was in error and she should have been discharged under AFI 36-3208, paragraph...
