RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-01800
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for discharge of Homosexual Admission on her DD Form
214 be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The statement “Homosexual Admission” on her DD Form 214 is not true. She
is deeply sorry and would have applied to have her record changed years
ago, but she only recently found out about the AFBCMR process.
Her record is in error. During Basic Military Training, she experienced
some things that made her very uncomfortable and was not able to
concentrate, at that time. Her mind was not where it should have been.
After one incident she felt that she should not be in military service.
She made a mistake and would like her life back.
In support of the application, she submits her DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, a sworn statement, and her marriage
certificate.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 17 Jun 98 for a period of
four years.
On 14 Jul 98, she submitted a statement requesting discharge from service
on the basis of homosexual conduct. On 6 Jul 98, the applicant’s commander
notified her that she was recommending her separation from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 for homosexual conduct. Applicant was
advised of her rights and acknowledged receipt of the notification. She
waived her right to a hearing before an administrative discharge board, but
retained her right to military counsel. She declined to submit statements
in her own behalf. On 9 Jul 98, the discharge authority approved the
recommended separation and directed the applicant be discharged.
Applicant was separated with an entry-level separation because of
Homosexual Admission. She had served 23 days on active duty. A
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
entry level separation without characterization of service) was assigned.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS found no procedural errors or injustices in the applicant’s
discharge; however, they defer to the discretion of the Board as to whether
a correction to her narrative reason for separation is appropriate.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 21 Nov
08 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has
received no response (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. The applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we are not persuaded that the applicant has been the victim
of an error or injustice. At the time members are separated from the Air
Force, they are furnished a narrative reason for separation predicated upon
the quality of their service and circumstances of their separation. The
supporting documentation submitted does not substantiate her claim that she
was discharged for reasons other than those indicated on her DD 214;
therefore, we find no basis to warrant favorable action on this
application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of 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.
