RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02628
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His uncharacterized service be upgraded to honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told that his discharge would be automatically upgraded
to honorable. He was injured during basic training and was
discharged.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force, on 13 Apr 10,
for a period of six years.
On 4 Aug 10, the squadron commander notified the applicant of
administrative discharge action for erroneous enlistment. The
reason for the proposed action was based on a Standard Form 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care, which indicated that the
applicant should not have been able to join the Air Force
because of osteochondroma and it was determined the condition
did not meet the medical standards to enlist. The commander
recommended an entry level separation. On that same date, the
applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification,
waived his right to consult counsel and to submit statements in
his own behalf. On 10 Aug 10, the discharge authority approved
the entry level separation.
The applicant received an uncharacterized entry-level separation
on 11 Aug 10, by reason of Failed Medical/Physical Procurement
Standards, and was issued an RE code of 4C (Separated for
concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet
physical standards for enlistment, failure to attain a
9.0 reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading
Abilities Test, or void enlistments). He was credited with
3 months and 29 days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. They note that based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
The documentation in the file supports the service
characterization. In addition, DPSOS states that airmen are
given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180
days of continuous active service. The Department of Defense
(DOD) determined that if a member served less than 180 days of
continuous service, it would be unfair to the member and the
service to characterize their limited service. Therefore, his
uncharacterized service is correct and is in accordance with DoD
and Air Force instructions. 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 C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 30 Sep 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 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 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 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.
