RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03108
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His separation code of JEM (Expeditious Discharge) be changed
on his DD Form 214, Report of Separation from Active Duty.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His separation code on his DD Form 214 indicates he cannot work
with others which kept him from obtaining numerous jobs.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a Department of
Veteran Affairs (DVA) statement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 June 1976, the applicant was notified of his commanders
intent to recommend him for discharge from the Air Force for
being a marginal performer and for his negative attitude towards
the Air Force. The discharge record reflects the applicant
destroyed government property, failed to meet an appointment, and
was caught speeding on base. His commander also indicated the
applicant displayed an increasing trend toward being minimally
productive and as having limited potential.
The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of
discharge, consulted counsel, and waived his right to submit a
statement in his own behalf.
On 6 July 1976, the discharge authority approved the
recommendation to discharge the applicant with an honorable
characterization of service. On 9 July 1976, the applicant was
honorably discharged with a separation code of JEM (Expeditious
Discharge). He served one year and seven months on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states they have confirmed
the separation code JEM does correctly reflect the applicants
reason for discharge. Based on the documentation on file in the
applicants master personnel records, the discharge, to include,
the authority and reason, narrative reason for separation, and
characterization of service, was consistent with the procedural
and substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant
did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing.
The compete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
DPSOA states that per Air Force Regulation 35-16 (the guidance in
effect at the time applicant separated), the applicants correct
Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code is 2P (Separated under Air
Force Manuel 39-10 as a marginal performer or to preserve good
order or discipline) rather than RE-2 (Conditions barring
Reenlistment. AFPC/DPSOY will correct the applicants DD Form
214 unless otherwise directed by the Board.
The compete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
All the comments used to describe his separation are false. He
has had symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) since
he left the service. The injustice done to him is what made him
sick with PTSD. He does not have the resources or the access to
military documents; therefore, the Board will just have to take
his word for it.
The applicant complete rebuttal, with attachments, is at Exhibit
F.
_________________________________________________________________
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 an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of AFPC/DPSOS and adopt their rationale as the
basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice in regard to his separation code.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application. We note AFPC/DPSOA has provided an opinion
indicating the applicants DD Form 214 reflects the incorrect RE
code of RE-2 and will correct it to 2P upon Board action. We
concur with their assessment.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
