RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-02861
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His records be corrected to show a separation code of “MGQ”
(intradepartmental transfer) rather than “MND” (Miscellaneous/General
Reasons).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He enlisted in the Air Force on 22 August 2000 for six years. He is a
product of the Air Force’s Force Shaping effort for fiscal year (FY)
2004. He applied for early release under the Force Shaping program
and was approved for discharge effective 15 September 2004. He has
been told the separation code on his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, is incorrect.
In support of his appeal, the applicant has provided a personal
statement and copies of his DD Form 214, an AF Form 31, Airman’s
Request for Early Separation, and a records transmittal form.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22 August 2000 for a
period of six years. On 12 June 2004, he voluntarily applied for
early separation and requested he be released on 1 August 2004. His
application was approved and he was honorably discharged effective 15
September 2004. He was serving in the grade of senior airman and had
served for 4 years and 24 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS contends the Separation
Program Designator (SPD) code for individuals being released from
active duty under the Force Shaping Program for miscellaneous reasons
was “MND” and the narrative reason for separation was
“miscellaneous/general reasons.” DPRRS notes he was separated in
accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, for miscellaneous reasons. Based on the
documentation provided by the applicant, the separation was consistent
with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation. The discharge was within the discretion of the separation
authority.
DPPRS’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 7
October 2005 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 its rationale as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. The Separation Code he received is, in fact, the
code authorized for the type of early separation he requested.
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 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.

She did not receive any notice of the debt during the eight months after her separation from the Air Force. JA states the Air Force Shaping Program provided certain individuals with an opportunity to voluntarily opt out of their enlistments on the condition that they repay any bonuses received. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that the applicant should be given the relief requested.

The Board noted that the Air Force Separations Branch was unable to determine the propriety of the separation. Nevertheless, we agree with the recommendation of the Air Force Reenlistments office that the applicant’s request should be granted based on the governing directive in effect at the time of his separation. Therefore, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.

After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his reason for separation should be changed. We therefore agree with the recommendation of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for...
