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 veterans 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 applicants 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 commanders 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 applicants 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.
