RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-01449
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The Type of Separation, Narrative Reason for Separation, and
Separation Code on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was separated under the Reduction in Force (RIF) Program. However,
his DD Form 214 contains errors that appear to reflect a separation
under the Voluntary Separation Program (VSP).
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides extracts from his
military personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant was appointed a second lieutenant, Reserve of the Air Force
on 13 May 95 and voluntarily ordered to extended active duty on 15 Jun
95.
On 11 Jun 07, he was considered and nonselected for retention by the
RIF Board. As a result, he was projected for involuntary release from
active duty. His DD Form 214 reflects he resigned from active duty
under the provision of AFI 36-3207 (Force Shaping – VSP), with a
separation code of LCN. He was credited with 12 years, 7 months, and
15 days of active service.
By Special Order GA-664, dated 8 Nov 07, the applicant was awarded the
Defense Meritorious Service Medal (DMSM) for exceptionally meritorious
service during the period 28 Nov 06 to 29 Jan 08.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS indicates that a review of the applicant’s DD Form 214
reveals there was an error in the amount of separation pay and the
narrative reason for separation. Therefore, they recommend the
narrative reason for separation be corrected to reflect “Force Shaping
– (Board Selected),” and the amount of separation pay be corrected to
reflect “Non-disability Severance Pay - $91,931.82.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 20
Jun 08 for review and response within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has been received by this office (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. After a thorough review of the facts
and circumstances of this case, we concur with AFPC/DPSOS that the
applicant’s narrative reason for separation is erroneous and should be
changed. As DFAS has confirmed the correct amount of his severance
pay, we also agree that the amount of severance pay reflected on his
DD Form 214 is inaccurate warranting corrective action. However, no
evidence has been presented which would lead us to believe his type of
separation and separation code are in error. Additionally, we note
the applicant’s DD Form 214 will be corrected administratively to
reflect award of the DMSM. Therefore, no further action by this Board
is necessary regarding this portion of his appeal. In view of the
foregoing, we recommend the applicant’s records be corrected as set
forth below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be amended in
Item 13 (Remarks) to reflect Non-disability Severance Pay -
$91,931.82; and in Item 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) to
reflect Force Shaping – Board Selected.
