RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00067 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His narrative reason for separation and separation program 
designator (SPD) code be reviewed. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was discharged under Phase II of the force shaping program; 
however, his narrative reason for separation and SPD code are 
incorrectly reflected on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release 
or Discharge from Active Duty. As a result, he is being 
precluded from qualifying for a home loan guarantee through the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 3 Jun 03. On 1 Dec 04, he was 
released from active duty with an honorable character of service 
and an SPD code of MND and a corresponding narrative reason for 
separation of “Miscellaneous/General Reasons.” He was credited 
with 1 year, 5 months, and 29 days of total active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 


AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant’s date of separation was 
approved in accordance with Military Personnel Flight Memorandum 
(MPFM) 04-35, which states the Limited Active Duty Service 
Commitment (LADSC) Waiver Program allows officer and enlisted 
personnel to either retire or separate prior to completing their 
specified ADSC or service commitment. Personnel who separate 
under these provisions will do so under the miscellaneous 
provision of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. 
The narrative reason of “Miscellaneous/General reasons” is 
correct and consistent with the procedural and substantive 
requirements of the discharge regulation. Furthermore, the 
applicant has not submitted any evidence or identified any 
errors or injustices that occurred in the separation processing. 

 

A complete copy of the 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 29 Apr 11 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 timely filed. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or 
injustice that occurred during the discharge process. Based on 
the available evidence of record, it appears the applicant’s 
honorable discharge for miscellaneous/general reasons was 
consistent with the substantive requirements of the governing 
instructions. He has provided no evidence which would lead us 
to believe his honorable discharge under the provisions of the 
Air Force Force Shaping Program was improper or contrary to the 
provisions of the governing directive, or the separation program 
designator code issued in conjunction with his honorable 
discharge was erroneous or inappropriately assigned. Therefore, 
absent evidence the applicant was not afforded rights to which 
he was entitled, there was an abuse of discretionary authority, 


or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the requested relief. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
