STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on  15  Apr  03  for  a

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.

    The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, incorrectly reflects the applicant’s separation code and narrative reason as “MBK” and “completion of required active service.” The separation code should reflect “MND” and a narrative reason of “Miscellaneous/General Reasons.” HQ AFPC/DPSOS’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
