RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-00983
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation (Unsatisfactory Performance) and
separation code (JHJ) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She believes the separation code and narrative reason are unjustified
because she only spent one year and 10 months in the Air Force. Separating
members from the service without giving them a chance to progress is
unreasonable. Based on this code, she is ineligible to enlist in the
United States Army for a period of 24 months in accordance with the Army
regulation.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 11 October 2005 in the grade
of airman basic. She was progressively promoted to the grade of airman
first class having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of
6 February 2006.
On 17 August 2007, she was notified by her commander of his intent to
recommend that she be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of
AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.26.3., Unsatisfactory Performance - Failure to
Progress in On-The-Job-Training. The reason for this action was that on 2
August 2007, she failed her Career Development Course, end-of-course
retest. She was advised of her rights in this matter, acknowledged receipt
of the notification on that same date, and after consulting with counsel
elected not to submit statements on her own behalf.
In a legal review of the case file, the acting staff judge advocate found
the case legally sufficient and recommended discharge. On 21 August 2007,
the discharge authority concurred with the recommendations and directed
discharge with an honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
She was discharged on 22 August 2007. She served 1 year, 10 months and 11
days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states they found no evidence of error
or injustice, nor did the applicant submit any evidence in support of her
claim. The RE code for such a characterization as directed by the
commander is 2C.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant contends she was
not afforded ample time to progress in training. However, the discharge
package does not support this contention. The applicant's on-the-job
training record is well documented as to the efforts taken by her
supervisor and commander to include supervised study sessions.
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. The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any
errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 May 2008, the evaluations were forwarded to the applicant for review
and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record, it is our opinion that given the circumstances
surrounding her separation from the Air Force, the narrative reason for
separation and separation code assigned were proper and in compliance with
the appropriate instructions. Therefore, 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 either an error or injustice. In the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting
the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice; the application was denied without a
personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
