IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-00098
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 19 JULY 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The her records be corrected to:
a. Change the Narrative Reason for Separation from Erroneous
Enlistment to Medical Conditions.
b. Award of the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal (GWOT-
S).
EXAMINER’S NOTE: On 24 January 2007, the applicant was notified that
the GWOT-S will be added to her DD Form 214. Therefore, the remaining
issue for consideration by the Board is the Narrative Reason for
Separation
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
It was recommended that she be separated for a medical condition.
In support of her request, the applicant provided her Honor Graduate
Ribbon Certificate, AETC Form 125A, Record of Administrative Training
Action, Standard Form (SF) 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care,
and Student Training Report.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force (RegAF) on 6 December
2005, as an airman (Amn) for a period of four years.
On 30 March 2006, the applicant was notified of her commander’s intent
to recommend her for an entry-level separation for erroneous
enlistment for the following reason:
SF Form 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care dated
21 February 2006, stated the applicant was diagnosed with Exercise
Induced Asthma.
The commander advised the applicant of her right to consult legal
counsel, and if she so desired an appointment would be made upon
request, and to submit statements in her own behalf. She was
advised that failure to consult with counsel or submit statements
could constitute her waiver of her rights to do so.
On 30 March 2006, the applicant waived her right to consult counsel
and to submit a statement.
On 4 April 2006, the base legal office reviewed the applicant’s case
and found it legally sufficient to support separation and recommend
the applicant be separated with an entry-level separation.
On 12 April 2006, the discharge authority approved the separation
and directed the applicant be discharged with an entry-level
separation without probation and rehabilitation.
The applicant was separated with an uncharacterized entry-level
separation on 13 April 2006 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
Administrative Separation of Airman (entry-level – erroneous
enlistment).
The applicant served four months and eight days of active duty
service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. They state based on the
documentation on file in the applicant’s 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.
Airmen are given an entry-level separation when separation is
initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service. The
Department of Defense (DoD) determined if a servicemember served less
than 180 days of continuous active service, it would be unfair to the
servicemember and the service to characterize their limited service.
The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the processing of her discharge.
Furthermore, she did not provided any facts to warrant a change to her
narrative reason for separation.
A copy of the AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 9
February 2007, for review and response. As of this date, no response
has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an injustice. After careful
consideration of the circumstances of this case and the evidence
provided by the applicant, we are not persuaded the narrative reason
for separation the applicant received was in error or unjust. The
applicant’s military records reflect while in technical training she
was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. Her records further
reflect she was unaware of her condition prior to entering active
service. Based on the applicant’s diagnosis of exercised induced
asthma, the Trainee Health Flight recommended she be removed from
training and be separated with an administrative discharge. The
applicant did not request a waiver. The applicant’s commander
concurred with the recommendation of the Trainee Health Flight and
recommended the applicant be administratively separated based on an
erroneous enlistment. The discharge the applicant received indicates
an uncharacterized entry-level separation for serving less than six
months of service which would be appropriate considering that the
applicant served four months of active military service. Therefore,
in view of the above and 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.

He was tested for asthma and subsequently discharged from the Air Force. Furthermore, the Medical Consultant states in order to qualify for MGIB benefits, the applicant was required to complete 36 months of active duty service and receive an honorable discharge. The applicant's concealment of a disqualifying medical condition at the time of enlistment examination and non-distinguished conduct while in training does not merit action by the Secretary to change his characterization of...

We are not persuaded by the evidence presented that the uncharacterized entry-level separation received by the former member should be changed to an honorable discharge. Rather, an entry-level separation with uncharacterized service is used in those cases where the member has not yet completed six months of service at the time separation proceedings were, for whatever reason, initiated. However, after a thorough review of the applicant's submission and the evidence of record, we see no...
