RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01423
INDEX NUMBER: 110.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Block 28 of his DD Form 214, “Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty,” be changed from “unsatisfactory performance” to
“satisfactory.”
________________________________________________________________
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 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. Accordingly, there is no need
to recite these facts in this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS reviewed this application and recommended denial. A
complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 24
May 02 for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response has
not been received.
________________________________________________________________
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. 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 office of
primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. The Board notes that the applicant appears to believe that
the requested change to his DD Form 214 will entitle him to benefits
under the Montgomery GI Bill. This is not the case, however, since the
reason that the applicant does not qualify for the Montgomery GI Bill
is that he served less than the 36 months required to receive benefits.
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.
