RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01870
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His character of discharge be changed from uncharacterized to honorable on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The characterization of service was an injustice since there was
no misconduct in his record of service. He was discharged under
medical reasons for migraine headaches. He was on medical hold
for 60 days after completing and graduating from Basic Military
Training School (BMTS) until the determination was made that he
did not meet medical requirements. Since he graduated from BMTS
the commander had enough time to make a fair decision about his
overall character of service.
In support of his request, the applicant submits his personal
statement and copies of his DD Form 214, AF Form 100, Request
and Authorization for Separation, and Basic Training Record.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 June 2008.
On 17 September 2008, his commander notified him that he was
recommending him for discharge under the provisions of Air Force
Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and
Separations and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3208 Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section C,
Defective Enlistment. On 17 September 2008, the applicant
acknowledged receipt of the commanders intent to discharge him
and waived his right to submit statements on his own behalf but
indicated that he would consult counsel. Subsequent to the file
being found legally sufficient the discharge authority approved
the recommendation and directed the applicant be discharged with
an entry-level separation. The applicant was discharged
effective 26 September 2008, with an entry-level separation,
Uncharacterized character of service and was credited with 3
months and 18 days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states the separation was
done in accordance with established policy and administrative
procedures. After evaluation the applicant was found
disqualified for military service and separated with an EPTS
condition. SGPS does not support the request to change the
character of service to honorable.
The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the discharge 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 complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 5 October 2011 for review and comment within 30
days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office.
________________________________________________________________
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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
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.

It appears the specific reasons for this action was that she had back problems prior to entry on active duty but failed to disclose these problems until she was in BMT.

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS Airmen are given entry-level separation with uncharacterized service when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service. After careful consideration of applicant's request and the available evidence of record, we find insufficient evidence of an error or injustice to warrant corrective action.
