                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             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...
