RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02785
INDEX CODE: 128.05
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 17 March 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Separation Program Designator (SPD) Code be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He separated under the Air Force Shaping Program.
The applicant does not provide any evidence in support of his appeal.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 29 November 2001 at the
age of 19. He was progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman (E-
4) effective and with a date of rank of 28 May 2004.
On 22 November 2004, the applicant voluntarily applied for separation under
the Fiscal Year 2004 Air Force Shaping Program. His commander approved the
applicant’s request on 28 November 2004.
The applicant was separated with an honorable discharge effective 10 March
2005 with a separation code of MND (miscellaneous/general reasons) and a
reentry code of 3A (first term airman who separates before completing 36
months, or 60 months for a 6-year enlistee, on current enlistment and who
has no known disqualifying factor or ineligibility conditions except grade,
skill level, and insufficient Total Active Federal Military Service). The
applicant served 3 years, 3 months and 12 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial of the applicant’s request to change his SPD
code. DPPRS states the applicant voluntarily submitted a request for
separation under the Limited Active Duty Service Commitment (LADSC) Waiver
Program and AFI 36-3208 (miscellaneous reasons). According to the Military
Personnel Flight Memorandum 04-35, the SPD code for individuals being
released under the LADSC Waiver Program will be “MND” and the narrative
reason will be “miscellaneous/general reasons.” The applicant did not
submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in
the discharge processing. He provided no facts warranting a change to his
SPD code. 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 DPPRS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 13
October 2006 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. The applicant did not provide persuasive
evidence showing the information in the discharge case file was erroneous,
his substantial rights were violated, or that his commanders abused their
discretionary authority. It appears from the evidence of record the SPD
code which was issued at the time of the applicant’s separation accurately
reflect the circumstances of his separation and we do not find this code to
be in error or unjust. In view of the foregoing, we conclude that no basis
exists upon which to recommend favorable action on his request that it be
changed.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
