RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2006-00033
            INDEX CODE:  110.02
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE:  8 AUGUST 2007


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

The   narrative   reason   for    his    separation    be    changed    from
“miscellaneous/general reasons” to “for convenience of government.”

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was denied MGIB benefits because the narrative reason for  his  discharge
reads “miscellaneous” instead of “for convenience of government.”

The  applicant  submits  no  supporting  documentation.    The   applicant’s
submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 28 January 2003, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force  in  the
grade of basic airman (E-1) and was progressively promoted to the  grade  of
airman first class (E-3).  On 15 August  2005,  he  was  honorably  released
from active duty, having served 2 years, 6 months  and  18  days  on  active
duty.  He was transferred to the Air Force Reserve  for  completion  of  his
military service obligation (27 January 2011).  His DD Form 214  reflects  a
Separation Code of “MND” and a Narrative  Reason  of  “Miscellaneous/General
Reasons.”

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted  from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the  letter  prepared  by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________




AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS  recommends  the  application  be  denied.   DPPRS   states   the
applicant voluntarily submitted a request for separation under  the  Limited
Active Duty Service  Commitment  (LADSC)  Waiver  Program.   The  Separation
Program Designator for individuals being released  from  active  duty  under
the LADSC Waiver Program is “MND” and the corresponding narrative reason  is
“miscellaneous/general   reasons.”    The   AFPC/DPPRS   evaluation,    with
attachments, is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

On 27 January 2006, a copy of the Air  Force  evaluation  was  sent  to  the
applicant for review and comment.  As of this  date,  this  office  has  not
received a 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.   After  a  thorough  review  of  the
evidence of record and the applicant’s submission,  we  are  not  persuaded
that the narrative reason for separation should be changed.  The  applicant
elected to separate from the  Air  Force  under  the  Limited  Active  Duty
Service Commitment (LADSC) Waiver Program.  The narrative reason which  was
issued at the time of the applicant’s separation  accurately  reflects  the
circumstances of his separation, i.e., LADSC with an  honorable  discharge,
and we do not find this reason to be in error or unjust.  Accordingly,  his
request to change his narrative reason is not favorably considered.

_________________________________________________________________

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.
