AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00995
INDEX CODE: 110.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
He be reinstated to active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a personal statement.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant received an entry level separation on 8 Mar 02 under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208 (entry level performance and conduct). He
had completed 5 months and 7 days and was serving in the grade of
airman basic (E-1) at the time of separation. He received an RE Code
of 2C, which defined means "Involuntarily separated with an honorable
discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of
service "
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied. Based upon the
documentation in the file, DPPRS believes the discharge was consistent
with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and was well documented. DPPRS stated that the applicant
did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing. The HQ AFPC/DPPRS
evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 12
April 2002 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice with regard to the applicant’s
entry level separation. The discharge appears to be in compliance
with the governing Air Force instruction and we find no evidence to
indicate that his separation from the Air Force was inappropriate.
After reviewing the documentation that has been submitted in support
of applicant’s appeal, we do not believe he has suffered from an
injustice. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we
find no basis upon which to favorably consider the applicant’s request
for reinstatement to active duty.
4. Notwithstanding the above, we find the narrative reason for the
applicant’s entry level separation; i.e., entry level performance and
conduct, to be overly harsh. In our deliberations of this case, it
appeared to us that the word “conduct” could be misconstrued to infer
that his separation for academic deficiency was also due to
misconduct. We noted that the commander’s reason for the separation
action was due to the applicant’s failure to make satisfactory
progress in a required training program. Therefore, in order to
correct an injustice of improperly labeling the applicant, his
narrative reason for separation should be corrected to accurately
reflect the circumstances of his separation. In view of the
foregoing, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected by
deleting the words “and conduct” from his narrative reason for
separation.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected by deleting the words “and conduct”
from Block 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) on his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued on 8
March 2002.
