RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-01202
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The separation and reentry codes on his Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty, DD Form 214, be changed to allow him entry into an Air
Reserve/Guard unit.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told the codes were not acceptable. He was discharged under
honorable conditions due to hardship when his younger brother was killed in
1991. He feels he is capable to serve in the Air Force Reserve or Air
Guard as he was accepted in the Army Reserve after his discharge.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 20 Nov 91, the applicant was honorably discharged from the Regular Air
Force for hardship reasons. He had been progressively promoted to the
grade of senior airman, effective and with a date of rank of 17 Nov 90. He
had served three years, seven months and eight days on active duty.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letters prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibits C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant requested
humanitarian reassignment due to the death of his younger brother. On 14
Jan 91, personnel officials denied his request citing “no assurance of
resolution within a reasonable time” and that other family members in the
local area could provide at least limited physical and moral support.
However, an assignment to his desired location was approved upon his normal
return from an overseas area on 31 Jan 92. He was permanently disqualified
from the Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) due to his questionable
reliability (stress brought on by the accidental death of his brother and
the effects it had on his family). His commander cited his request for
early release from the Air Force, under hardship conditions and that after
his request he became the subject of an investigation and was placed on
administrative hold.
DPSOA states although personnel officials eventually provided the applicant
with an assignment to his requested location, he felt this action was
insufficient and sought early release.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS was unable to find any error or
injustice in the process of the applicant’s separation. DPSOA recommends
the applicant request a waiver of his reentry code by the gaining service’s
approval authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 11 Jul
08 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has
received no response (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
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 opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary
responsibility and adopt their 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 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 issues 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.
