RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-02059
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation (Miscellaneous/General Reasons) be
changed to Air Force Shaping/Early Out Program.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was declined a Department of Veterans Administration (DVA) loan
certificate of eligibility based on incorrect information in his records.
In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and AF IMT 31,
Airman’s Request for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change in Service
Obligation.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 March 2004 in the grade
of airman basic. He was progressively promoted to the grade of airman
first class having assumed that grade effective 25 June 2004 and with a
date of rank of 30 April 2004. He served as an Aircrew Egress Systems
Apprentice. The applicant was discharged on 30 June 2005. He served 1
year, 3 months and 15 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant initially entered
active duty on 25 November 2003 under the Delayed Entry/Enlistment Program
for a period of six years. The applicant’s date of separation was approved
in accordance with MPFM 04-35, dated 11 August 2004. MPFM 04-35,
attachment 2, states that the Limited Active Duty Service Commitment
(LADSC) waiver program allows officers and enlisted personnel to either
retire or separate prior to completing specified ADSC’s or service
commitments inclusive of normal DOS/ETS. Personnel who separate will do so
under the miscellaneous provision of AFI 36-3208. The narrative reason for
separation of “Miscellaneous/General Reasons” is the correct narrative
reason for separation.
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 applicant did not submit any evidence or
identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the separation
processing. He provided no facts warranting a change to his separation
action.
The complete DPSOS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 August 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 his 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. The applicant claims he was denied a DVA
loan certificate of eligibility based his narrative reason for separation.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought. We have been
advised by a representative from the DVA that the applicant should reapply
for a loan certificate through the DVA and he should present a copy of his
AF IMT 31, Airman’s Request for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change
in Service Obligation, which reflects early separation was due to Force
Shaping.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
