RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03419
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The separation code of KBK on his DD Form 214 and reflected in the
personnel system be changed to MBK
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
After his separation from active duty on 28 January 2001, he should
have been transferred to the individual ready reserve (IRR) per his DD
Form 214 because he had not yet completed his military service
obligation. His DD Form 214 however was mistakenly coded with a
separation code of KBK (discharge) instead of the code it should have
reflected, MBK (release).
In support of his application, he submits a copy of AF Form 100,
Request and Authorization for Separation and DD Form 214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
29 January 1997 for a term of 4 years. The applicant was separated
for completion of required active service with a separation code of
KBK on 28 January 2001 in the grade of senior airman. He received a
reenlistment code of "4J - Entered into Phase I of the Air Force
Weight Program, or the unit commander has declared the airman
ineligible to reenlist for a period of Phase II or probation." A new
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, was
completed on 28 June 2002 to correct items 6 and 9, to show he was not
transferred to the Air Force Reserve. He served 4 years of total
active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE stated the applicant separated 28 January 2001 and received
a reenlistment eligibility code (RE) of 4J, "Entered into Phase I of
the Air Force Weight Program, or the unit commander has declared the
airman ineligible to reenlist for a period of Phase II or probation"
is correct.
AFPC/DPPAE complete evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial and stated that based on the
documentation in the file, we believe the discharge was consistent
with procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation. Additionally, the discharge was within the discretion of
the discharge authority. The applicant did not submit any new
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing. He provided no other facts warranting a change
in his separation code. Accordingly, we recommend his records remain
the same and his request be denied. He has filed a timely request.
AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
2 August 2002, for review and comment 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of
the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not
persuaded that his discharge separation code should be changed. The
Board took note that a new DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, was completed to correct items 6 and 9, to
show he was not transferred to the Air Force Reserve, and other than
his own statement, the applicant provides no persuasive evidence that
his separation code should be changed. We therefore agree with the
recommendations of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as
the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain
his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.
Therefore, 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 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.
