AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-01677
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation “Fraudulent Entry Into Military
Service” be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was informed by family members not to tell the Air Force anything that
would keep her from joining.
In support of her request, the applicant provided documents extracted from
her military personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 March 2008 in the
grade of airman basic. On 25 March 2008, she was notified by her commander
of his intent to recommend her discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, chapter 5, section 5C, and
paragraph 5.15 (Fraudulent Entry). The specific reason for this action was
her history of attempted suicide that was not documented on her DD Form
2807-1, Report of Medical History.
A mental health evaluation, dated 13 March 2008, states “This evaluation
finds a distressed, tearful young woman who strongly desires to separate
from the USAF. Member has not been able to adequately adjust to the
stressful environment of BMT and has subsequently experienced multiple
psychiatric symptoms. Member’s most prominent symptom is suicidal
ideation. She denies having a plan or intent, though she wrote a suicide
note to her family. She states, “I would rather kill myself than stay
here.” Of concern, member attempted suicide January 2008 when she drank a
pint of vodka and took muscle relaxants. She did not receive medical care.
Additionally, member reports that for a 6 month span ending January 2007,
she snorted amphetamine every other day. Her unit does not recommend she
be returned to duty, citing emotional instability. AB M--- current level
of distress and lack of motivation, combined with her prior history of
suicide attempt and drug abuse, suggest a very poor prognosis for her
adaptation to the military environment.”
The applicant was advised of her rights in this matter and acknowledged
receipt of the notification on that same date. She waived her right to
consult counsel and elected not to submit statements on her own behalf. In
a legal review of the case file, the assistant staff judge advocate found
the case legally sufficient and recommended discharge. On 27 March 2008,
the discharge authority concurred with the recommendations and directed
discharge with an uncharacterized entry-level separation. She was
discharged on 28 March 2008. She served 24 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states 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. 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 processing. She provided no facts
warranting a change to her narrative reason for separation.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 25 July 2008, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 the applicant's separation from the Air Force, the narrative
reason for separation assigned was proper and in compliance with the
appropriate instructions. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt
its 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.

She followed the guidelines and submitted her request to withdraw her request 88 days before the date-of- separation (DOS). The Air Force failed to properly process her request to withdraw her voluntary request to separate. The applicant’s counsel states the applicant’s request for withdrawal was not properly processed and since her request for separation was voluntary, she had the right to withdraw her request for separation.
