RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02694
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation Entry-Level Performance and
Conduct be changed to Academic Failure.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not separated for misconduct or bad performance. She was
separated for twice failing an Aerospace Medical Service
Apprentice course.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a personal
statement and documents extracted from her military personnel
records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 8 December
2009.
The applicant was notified by her commander on 24 May 2010, of
his intent to recommend her discharge from the Air Force under
the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.22.
The specific reason was the applicants failure to perform her
assigned duties by not making satisfactory progress in the
Aerospace Medical Service Apprentice (Phase I) course.
She was advised of her rights in this matter and elected not to
submit statements in her own behalf. The discharge authority
concurred with the recommendation and directed an entry-level
separation. The applicant was discharged on 7 June 2010. She
served 6 months on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicants
characterization is correct as reflected on her DD Form 214.
Airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous
active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined if a
member served less than 180 days continuous active service, it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize
their limited service. Therefore, the uncharacterized service
which resulted in the reentry code of 2C is correct and in
accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records, the discharge to include the narrative reason for
separation was appropriately administered and within the
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not
provide any evidence of an error or injustice in the processing
of her discharge warranting a change to her narrative reason for
separation.
The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 17 December 2010, 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. After reviewing the
complete evidence of record we believe the term performance and
conduct, which currently accompanies her Narrative Reason for
Discharge, does not accurately identify the circumstances
surrounding her separation. It appears to us that the word
conduct could be misconstrued to infer that her separation for
failure to make satisfactory progress was also due to misconduct.
While the applicant may have had problems progressing in the
required training program, her discharge was not due to
misconduct. Therefore, in view of a possible injustice to the
applicant, we recommend her records be corrected to the extent
indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected by deleting the words and
conduct from Block 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) on her
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
