RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-02888
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE: 21 JANUARY 2007
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation of “unsatisfactory performance” be
changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes the narrative reason is incorrect because he was not discharged
for disciplinary reasons. He was discharged due to failing his Career
Development Course (CDC) twice. He was not given the option of a waiver or
reclassification.
In support of his application, the applicant submits his separation
document (DD 214) and his personal statement. The applicant’s complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 October 2000, the applicant enlisted in the Air Force Reserve under
the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program (DEP) at the age of 18 in the grade of
airman basic (E-1) for a period of eight years. On 23 August 2001, he
enlisted in the Regular Air Force at the age of 19 in the grade of airman
basic (E-1) for a period of 4 years. After completing basic military and
technical training, he was assigned to duties as a Security Forces
Apprentice.
During a meeting held on 16 March 2004, the commander briefed the two-time
CDC failure by the applicant. He noted his lack of effort towards the
Security Forces career field; as well as, his lack of preparation for both
CDC exams. He indicated that given the seriousness of the Security Forces
mission during the war on terrorism and base protection, the applicant
would be separated under the provisions of AFI 36-3208.
On 17 May 2004, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was
recommending he be separated from the Air Force under the provisions of
AFPD-36-32 and AFI 36-3208 because of unsatisfactory performance – failure
to progress in on-the-job-training (OJT). The applicant was advised of his
rights. He acknowledged receipt of the notification and submitted a
statement on his own behalf. The commander thereafter initiated a
recommendation for the applicant’s separation.
On 28 May 2004, the discharge authority directed that the applicant be
separated with an honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
On 14 June 2004, he was honorably discharged because of unsatisfactory
performance. He had served 2 years, 9 months and 22 days on active duty to
include 2 years, 4 months and 5 days of foreign service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states that based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge regulation, and the discharge was within the discretion of the
discharge authority. DPPRS concludes the applicant did not submit any
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing, and did not provide any facts warranting a change to
his reenlistment eligibility code. DPPRS 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 3
October 2005 for review and comment. 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 an error or injustice. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we are not persuaded that the applicant has been the victim
of an error or injustice. At the time members are separated from the Air
Force, they are furnished a narrative reason for separation predicated upon
the quality of their service and circumstances of their separation. The
applicant was discharged due to unsatisfactory performance because of his
failure to progress in on-the-job training. Before his commander initiated
discharge proceedings, he initiated a wide-range of rehabilitative efforts
in an attempt to help the former member complete his CDCs. However, he
states the applicant squandered the opportunities presented and displayed a
complete lack of motivation and professionalism to adhere to Air Force
standards. Therefore, after a thorough review of the evidence of record,
we believe that given the circumstances surrounding the applicant’s
separation, the narrative reason for separation issued was in accordance
with the appropriate directives and we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable action on 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

She served 2 years, 2 months and 13 days of active service. The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE stated that the Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service” is correct. However, after reviewing the applicant’s records, the Board believes the narrative reason for separation and her current RE code are somewhat harsh.
