RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00878
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His uncharacterized discharge be changed to general (under honorable
conditions).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge was unjust because he was not allowed enough time to improve
his readiness skills.
In support of his application, he submits a copy of his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 26 Jul 89. On 15 Aug 89,
his commander notified him that he was recommending his discharge from the
service for unsatisfactory entry level performance or conduct. His reasons
were the applicant's failure to make satisfactory progress in a required
training program and his failure to obtain a 9.0 reading grade level as
measured by the Air Force Reading Ability Test (AFRAT). Applicant waived
his right to counsel and declined to submit a statement on his behalf. A
review of the case by the Judge Advocate General was found legally
sufficient.
Applicant was discharged on 16 Aug 89. He had served 23 days on active
duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. 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 and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority. 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
uncharacterized discharge.
The Department of Defense has 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.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 25 Apr
08 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. We took notice of the applicant's
complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt its rationale as the basis for the 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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of probable 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.
