RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04020
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty be corrected as follows:
1. Her narrative reason for separation (Entry Level
Performance or Conduct) and separation code (JGA) be changed.
2. Her uncharacterized service be changed to honorable or
general (under honorable conditions).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She would like to to serve again in the Air Force, and needs her
uncharacterized service upgraded to honorable or general (under
honorable conditions).
Her discharge was not for bad behavior or misconduct.
She was not given the opportunity to cross train into another
job. She was young and homesick, and accepted the Air Forces
decision and moved on to civilian life. She has grown as an
individual and matured into an intelligent young woman.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a personal
statement, copies of her DD Form 214, and resume.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 6 Jul 04, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of six years.
On 8 Oct 04, the applicant was notified by her commander that he
was recommending her discharge from the Air Force for entry level
performance or conduct. The reason for the proposed action was
the applicant was eliminated from the Security Forces Apprentice
Course for academic deficiency, after failing Test 1 on three
occasions, with scores of 40, 28 and 54 percent; the minimum
passing score is 70 percent
She acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge, waived
her right to counsel and to submit statements in her own behalf.
The case file was found legally sufficient to support discharge
and the discharge authority approved the separation.
On 12 Oct 04, she was discharged with an uncharacterized entry
level separation by reason of entry level performance or conduct.
She served on active duty for a period of 3 months and 17 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicants
service characterization is correct as reflected on her DD Form
214. 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 if a member served less than 180 days
continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and
the service to characterize their limited service. Therefore,
her uncharacterized service is correct and in accordance with DoD
and Air Force instructions.
DPSOS states that based on the documentation on file in the
master personnel records, the discharge, to include the service
characterization, was appropriately administered and within the
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant provided no
evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of her
discharge warranting a change to her narrative reason for
separation or her separation code.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 Nov 11, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a
response has not been received (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 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.
