RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03010
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation be changed from
Miscellaneous/General Reasons to For the Convenience of the
Government.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
An injury she received in Jun 93 initiated her quest for a
discharge from the Air Force for medical reasons.
Her commanding officers attempted to circumvent the lengthy
medical discharge process by recommending early discharge for
miscellaneous reasons.
The miscellaneous narrative did speed up the discharge process
and avoided further injury; however, the early discharge caused
her to be three months shy from receiving full veterans
benefits.
She assumed that her honorable discharge would allow her full
benefits.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 Apr 92, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 31 Dec 93 the applicant was separated for miscellaneous
reasons, with an honorable discharge. She served one year and
nine months of total active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicants
miscellaneous request was not approved to speed the discharge
process along due to her medical conditions. In accordance with
AF 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 3,
paragraph 3.15, airmen who do not qualify for separation for
another reason may ask for separation under the miscellaneous
provision.
On 29 Jul 93 the applicant requested an early separation from
the Air Force under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, to accept civilian employment and complete
her Bachelors Degree.
The complete 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 2 Dec 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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 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.

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, incorrectly reflects the applicant’s separation code and narrative reason as “MBK” and “completion of required active service.” The separation code should reflect “MND” and a narrative reason of “Miscellaneous/General Reasons.” HQ AFPC/DPSOS’s complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
