AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-01342
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 4 NOV 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not attempting to gain a new depression status but was
discharged because basic training was too difficult.
In support of her application the applicant provided excerpts from her
military personnel record regarding her diagnosis and discharge.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
10 April 2007, for a term of 4 years. On 20 April 2007, her commander
notified her he was recommending she be discharged from the Air Force
for fraudulent entry. The basis for the commander’s recommendation
was that during her mental health evaluation, she disclosed a history
of mental health treatment that she failed to document on her DD Form
2807-1, (Report of Medical History). Additionally, during a mental
health evaluation, she was found to be a distressed young woman with a
strong desire to separate from the Air Force. She indicated her
symptoms of depression had increased since she discontinued her
medication and she was motivated for a discharge.
She acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge, and waived
her rights to consult with legal counsel and submit statements in her
own behalf. The base legal office reviewed the case and found it
legally sufficient to support separation and recommended the applicant
be separated from the service with an entry-level separation. The
discharge authority approved the separation and directed she be
separated with an uncharacterized entry-level separation.
Applicant was separated on 25 April 2007, under the provisions of AFI
36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airman (entry-level separation –
fraudulent entry into military service), with an uncharacterized entry-
level separation. Since her enlistment was considered fraudulent her
total active service was non-creditable.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states 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, nor
did she provide any facts warranting a change to her narrative reason
for separation or her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code.
Airman are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined
if a member served less than 180 days continuous active service, it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their
limited service. Therefore, her uncharacterized character of service
is correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The 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
27 July 2007, 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. Evidence has not been presented
which would lead us to believe that her discharge was in error or
contrary to the governing Air Force instructions, which implement the
law. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the
Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale as
the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice. 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.
