 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03178 

 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her character of discharge be changed from “uncharacterized’ to 
“general” on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Having an uncharacterized discharge means that she could not 
adapt to the military lifestyle. She was discharged for having 
asthma not because she could not adapt. 

 

She is going to school and her local veteran’s affairs office 
embarrassed her by telling her she has a dishonorable discharge 
because it states uncharacterized. 

 

In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of her 
DD Form 214. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 
14 December 2004. On 9 June 2005 the commander notified her 
that he was recommending her for an Erroneous Enlistment 
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, 
paragraph 5.14. Specifically, the applicant did not meet the 
medical requirements to enlist. The applicant acknowledged 
receipt of the commander’s intent to discharge her and waived 
her rights to consult counsel and submit statements on her 
behalf. 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 21 June 2005 with an 


uncharacterized entry level separation and was credited with 
6 months and 8 days of active duty service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the documentation on 
file in the master personnel record support the basis for 
discharge and the applicant’s entry level service 
characterization. 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 C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 10 November 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 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 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. 

 

 

4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) 


involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
