RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-02763
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His uncharacterized service be changed to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not do anything to deserve an uncharacterized discharge.
He failed out of a class and was discharged. It is his goal to
go back into the military and he feels that this could hinder
him.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, issued in conjunction with his 16 Jun 10 discharge.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained
in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of the Air
Force. Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in
this Record of Proceedings.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, stating, in part, based on the
documentation in the master personnel records, the discharge to
include the service characterization was appropriately
administered and within the discretion of the discharge
authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence that an
error or injustice occurred in the processing of his discharge
warranting a change to his character of service.
The applicant was recommended for administrative discharge
action for entry-level performance or conduct. The reason for
the proposed action was his academic elimination from the
Aerospace Ground Equipment Apprentice Course, specifically, he
failed Block 4, Unit 5, Test a, and Block 5, Unit 3, Test a,
with scores of 60 percent and 45 percent respectively. Prior to
disenrollment, the applicant was counseled concerning his
performance, received five hours of additional instruction and
received written counseling and reprimands concerning his
academic deficiencies. Efforts to improve his performance were
met with negative results. The Flight Academic Review Board
recommended discharge. The discharge authority directed
discharge with an uncharacterized entry-level separation.
They also note that airmen are given entry-level
separation/uncharacterized service characterization when the
separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous
active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined that
if a member served less than 180 days continuous service, it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize
their limited service. Therefore, the uncharacterized character
of service resulting in the RE code of 2C is correct and in
accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The complete AFPC/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 17 Dec 10 for review and comment 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 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. After
careful consideration of applicant's request and the available
evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of error or
injustice to warrant corrective action. The facts and opinions
stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the
evidence of record and have not been adequately rebutted by the
applicant. Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied
rights to which he was entitled, appropriate regulations were
not followed, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find
no basis to disturb the existing record.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material 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.
