IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-02061
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C (involuntarily separated with
an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization
of service) and her separation program designator (SPD) code of HDG
(parenthood or custody of minor children) be changed to allow her entry
into the Air National Guard.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She applied for an early discharge due to her recent change in marital
status in concurrence with her remote assignment to Korea.
She was going to have to relinquish permanent custody of her children to
their father, putting her future custody at risk, and she did not want to
risk that.
In support of her request, the 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:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 30 Jul 97. She served for a
period of 6 years, 1 month, and 24 days.
On 4 Sep 03, the applicant’s commander notified her of pending discharge
actions based on parenthood and dependent care responsibilities.
Specifically, on 9 Jun 03, the applicant failed to complete her AF Form
357, Dependent Care Certification.
Records indicate the applicant was counseled on multiple occasions by her
supervisor, first sergeant, commander, and given opportunities to correct
her parenthood issues/responsibilities.
On 5 Sep 03 and after consulting with counsel, the applicant offered a
conditional waiver of her rights associated with an administrative
discharge board hearing contingent upon receipt of no less than an
honorable discharge.
On 18 Sep 03, the discharge authority directed that the applicant be
separated from the Air Force with an honorable discharge, without probation
and rehabilitation, under the provisions of AFPD, 36-32, Military
Retirements and Separations, AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, paragraph 5.9, parenthood, and AFI 36-2908, Family Care Plan.
The applicant was discharged with an honorable discharge on 23 Sep 03,
with an RE code of 2C, SPD code of HDG, and narrative reason of Parenthood
or Custody of Minor Child.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states that a review of the
applicant’s records reflects that on 18 Sep 03, she was approved for
discharge based on parenthood and AFI 36-3208, Dependent Care
Responsibilities. There was no evidence of error or injustice found nor
did the applicant submit any evidence of any.
The AFPC/DPSOA complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that based on the documentation
in the master personnel records, the discharge was consistent with the
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 proceedings. She provided no facts warranting a change to
her SPD or RE code.
The AFPC/DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 19
Oct 07 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 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.
