_____
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 11 Mar 08 in the grade
of airman basic (E-1) for a period of six years.
On 28 Aug 08, the applicant was notified by his commander
of his intent to recommend his discharge for entry level
performance and conduct in accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. The reasons for the
action included three instances of failure to go; three
instances of dereliction of duty; and his failure to make
satisfactory progress in a required training program as
evidenced by three separate academic failures, which
resulted in him being washed back in training, receiving
counseling, and special individual assistance, none of
which produced positive results.
On 29 Aug 08, after consulting with legal counsel, the
applicant acknowledged receipt of the letter of
notification and elected to submit statements in his
defense. On 8 Sep 08, the action was found legally
sufficient and the discharge authority approved the
commanders recommendation. On 11 Sep 08, the applicant
was furnished an entry level separation with
uncharacterized service and was credited with six months
and one day of total active service.

_____
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, indicating there is no
evidence of an error or injustice. 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 determined if a member
served less than 180 days continuous active service, it
would be unfair, to the member or the service, to
characterize their limited service. Therefore, his service
characterization is correct as reflected on his DD Form
214. As for his claims related to his medical issues, the
applicant submitted a memorandum in response to the letter
of notification which indicated that while he was on
medical holdover for about two months, there was nothing
wrong with him. The record reveals that he was medically
cleared for separation and there was not a condition which
required referral to a medical evaluation board.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit
C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant provides a letter from the Department of
Veterans Affairs certifying he is entitled to compensation
for service-connected disability(ies) rated at 30 percent
(Exhibit E).
___________________________________________________________
_____
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. We
took notice of the applicants complete submission in
judging the merits of the case; however, 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 the applicants entry level separation
was in accordance with the substantive requirements of the
governing instruction. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, there is no basis for us to
recommend granting the relief sought in 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.
