RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03899
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His discharge characterization be changed to honorable, medical,
or general (under honorable conditions).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was separated from the Air Force for medical reasons not
misconduct and the characterization of his service hinders his
efforts to secure employment.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submits extracts from his
military personnel and medical records.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman
basic on 18 May 10 for a term of four years. On 24 Jun 10, the
applicants commander notified him that he was recommending he be
discharged from the Air Force for Erroneous Enlistment. The
commander stated that a medical narrative summary, dated
18 Jun 10, found the applicant did not meet minimum medical
standards to enlist.
On 29 Jun 10, the applicant was separated from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, for Failed Medical/Physical Procurement Standards, with
an uncharacterized discharge. He served a total of 1 month and
12 days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Based on the
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs,
the Board assumes the applicants uncharacterized discharge was
proper and in compliance with the directive under which it was
effected. Furthermore, airmen are given entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service when separation is initiated in the
first 180 days 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 character of service on his DD Form 214 is
correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
Additionally, we note the applicants RE code should reflect
2C Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or
entry-level separation without characterization of service,
based on his entry-level separation with uncharacterized service.
As such, his records will be administratively corrected to
reflect the correct RE code of 2C. Therefore, in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
