RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02716
INDEX CODE: 110.00, 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 4 MARCH 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her separation and reenlistment eligibility (RE) codes be changed to a
favorable code that would permit her to enter the MI Air National Guard.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation “Inability to perform prescribed duties
due to parenthood,” no longer applies. At the time of her discharge her
husband was deployed to Saudi Arabia and they had dependent care issues.
Her spouse has since retired from the Armed Forces and there is no longer a
problem with dependent care of minor children.
In support of her request, applicant provided a copy of her DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 13 Aug 85, for a period of
four years in the grade of airman basic.
On 11 Sep 90, the squadron commander notified the applicant that he was
recommending she be discharged from the Air Force for failure to fulfill
dependent care responsibilities. The commander recommended the applicant
receive an honorable discharge.
On 11 Sep 90, applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification
and that she had consulted with military counsel. Applicant offered a
conditional waiver of the rights associated with an administrative
discharge board hearing, contingent on her receipt of no less than an
honorable discharge
On 19 Sep 90, the Headquarters Air Force Logistics Center Staff Judge
Advocate reviewed the case file and found it legally sufficient to support
separation and recommended applicant’s conditional waiver be accepted. The
discharge authority approved the separation and directed applicant be
discharged with an honorable discharge without probation and
rehabilitation.
On 24 Sep 90, the applicant was honorably discharged under the provisions
of AFR 39-10, with separation code HDG (Inability to perform prescribed
duties due to parenthood), and was issued an RE code of 2C (Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge). She was credited with 5 years, 1
month, and 22 days of active military service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. A review of the applicant’s military
records revealed that she was recommended for discharge from the Air Force
for failure to fulfill dependent care responsibilities. Based on the
circumstances of her discharge, they found no evidence that the applicant’s
RE code is incorrect; additionally the applicant should seek a waiver of
the RE code by the enlisting component authority.
The DPPAE evaluation, with attachments is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied, and states, in part,
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. The discharge was within the discretion of
the discharge authority.
The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the discharge processing. Additionally, the
applicant provided no facts warranting a change to her reenlistment
eligibility code.
The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 6 Oct 06, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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 opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion
that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
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.
