AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation of “Completion of Required
Active Service” be changed to “Date of Separation (DOS) rollback
involuntarily.”
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In order for him to receive Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA)
benefits, his reason for separation must reflect “DOS rollback
involuntarily.” He was part of the DOS rollback and when he
began to inquire about his reason for separation no one
understood why he had that reason for separation. He did not
realize that his reason for separation was in error or that it
was a requirement for the VA.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 1 Sep 09.
On 25 Oct 10, the applicant’s commander imposed punishment under
Article 15; 1) for wrongfully inhaling the contents of a can of
compressed gas duster, commonly referred to as “huffing.” His
Article 15 punishment was vacated, when on or about 22 Jan 11,
he willfully failed to refrain from providing alcohol to a
person under the legal drinking age of twenty-one (21) as it was
his duty to do.
The applicant was separated under the FY11 Enlisted DOS Rollback
Program with a Separation Program Designator (SPD) of "JBK" in
accordance with (IAW) Personnel Services Delivery Memorandum
(PSDM) 11-11, dated 1 Feb 11.
The applicant’s record reflects he was selected for the DOS
Rollback Program by his commander for possessing a Reentry Code
(RE) of 2X. RE code 2X is for first-term, second-term, or
career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under
the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP).
On 31 May 11, the applicant was honorably discharged under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation Of Airmen,
with a narrative reason of completion of required active
service, a corresponding SPD code of JBK, and an RE code of 2X.
He was credited with one year and nine months of active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, stating, in part, based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge to include the narrative reason for separation was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge instruction and was within the discretion of the
discharge authority. They found no evidence of an error or
injustice in the processing of the applicant's discharge.
In addition, they note that airmen with RE codes 2X (Denied
Reenlistment), 3D (Declined PCS Retainability), 3E (Declined
Training), 4H (Serving Suspended Punishment Pursuant to Article
15) and 41 (Serving on the Control Roster) were subject to
discharge under the rollback program.
The DOS rollback program utilizes the SPD code "JBK" (less than
6 years of active service) or "LBK" (more than six years of
active service) with a corresponding narrative reason for
separation of "Completion of Required Active Service" since the
member is denied further continuation or reenlistment and as in
the applicant's case, the DOS/ETS may be involuntarily
accelerated. The involuntary SPD code of "JBK" or "LBK"
(Completion of Required Service) as determined by the Air Force,
also relieved members of recoupment obligation for unserved
portions of bonuses since the member's term of service was
involuntarily accelerated.
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 11 May 12 for review and response. 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
2
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 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.
