STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 15 Apr 03 for a
period of six years in the grade of airman basic.
On 10 Dec 04, he requested separation on 15 May 05, under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Chapter 3, Paragraph 3.15 (Miscellaneous
Reasons). Reason for request was that he was applying for
Miscellaneous Separation under the Limited Active Duty Service
Commitment (LADSC) Waiver Program and the FY04 Force Shaping
Program. On 7 Jan 05, the squadron commander recommended approval
of his request. The group commander recommended approval of his
request on 3 Mar 05.
On 15 May 05, applicant was honorably released from active duty
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, with a reason for separation
of miscellaneous/general reasons. He was credited with 2 years,
1 month, and 1 day of active duty service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS reviewed this application and recommended denial.
The applicant submitted a voluntary application for separation
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (miscellaneous reasons) and the
FY04 Force Shaping Program. Specifically, applicant applied under
the LADSC Waiver Program and Miscellaneous Separation Eligibility
Criteria announced by Military Personnel Flight Manual 04-35, Air
Force Shaping Program, Phase II. MPFM 04-35, provided
implementation instructions and stipulated that enlisted personnel
may request a separation date no earlier than 15 Jul 04 and no
later than 15 Sep 05.
Based on the documentation in the file, they found that the
separation was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and MPFM 04-35. They also
noted that the applicant did not submit any new evidence or
identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the separation
processing, nor did he provide any facts warranting a change of the
narrative reason for separation.
A complete copy of the Air Force 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 26 Aug 05 for review and comment within 30 days. 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. We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the
case. The applicant requests his reason for separation of
“miscellaneous/general reasons” be changed to “Reduction in Force.”
However, we found no evidence which would lead us to believe that
the applicant's separation or reason for separation were in error
or contrary to the governing Air Force instructions. The applicant
applied and signed the request for separation under the FY04 Force
Shaping Program, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, with a reason
for separation of miscellaneous/general reasons. We therefore
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office
of primary responsibility 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. In
the absence of persuasive 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 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.
