RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01204
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His separation (SPD) code be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His separation code states that he is pregnant; however, he is a
male.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery scores.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 5 Jan 10.
His commander notified the applicant that he was recommending him
for discharge from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-
32 amd AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
paragraph 5.22. The specific reasons for this action were for
failing to perform his assigned duties by not making satisfactory
progress in the Structional Apprentice course. After a legal
review, the discharge was found to be legally sufficient. He
received a JGA SPD code that correlates to his narrative reason
for separation of entry-level performance and conduct. The
applicant received an entry-level discharge on 23 Jul 10 after
serving 6 months and 19 days on active duty.
Additional relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices 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. The applicant contends that he was
discharged because of pregnancy; however, he was discharged for
failing to satisfactorily progress in his training program. In
this case, the applicants commander initiated separation action
on 30 Jun 10, which gave him 146 days of active duty service.
Airman are given entry-level separation with an uncharacterized
service when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous service. The applicant has not provided any evidence
of an error or injustice to warrant changing his SPD code.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit B.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant responded by stating his SPD code of JGA
represents that he was separated due to being pregnant. It is a
clear error and should be changed.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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 error or 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 the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Furthermore, the
applicants SPD code of JGA accurately reflects his reason for
discharge and correlates with his narrative reason for separation
(entry-level performance and conduct). 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 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.
