________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 March
2007.
On 8 August 2007, the applicants commander notified him that
she was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for
Conditions That Interfere With Military Service and for
Unsatisfactory Entry-Level Performance or Conduct for failure to
make satisfactory progress in a required training program under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen. The specific reason for the action included the
following:
1) On 8 Jun 07, the applicant was diagnosed with an Axis I
Adjustment Disorder with Depressed Mood, which resulted in his
inability to function effectively in the military environment.
2) On 19 Jun 07, the applicant was academically eliminated from
the Electronic Principles portion of the Ground Radar Systems
Apprentice Course for his failure of the Block II test on two
occasions.
3) On 28 Jun 07, the applicant willfully disobeyed a lawful
order from a senior non-commissioned officer to refrain from
traveling away from the local area.
On 8 August 2007, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
action and waived his right to consult with legal counsel, and
submit statements in his own behalf.
On 9 August 2007, the case was found legally sufficient and, on
9 August 2007, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
furnished an Entry-Level Separation. On 24 August 2007, the
applicant was furnished an Entry-Level Separation with
uncharacterized service, with a narrative reason for separation
of Adjustment Disorder. He was credited with five months and
five days of total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. 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.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR 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 26 November 2012, for review and comment within 30
days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
________________________________________________________________
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 an error or injustice. We
carefully considered the applicants submission; however, we
found no indication the actions taken to affect the applicants
discharge were improper or contrary to the provisions of the
governing instructions. Therefore, we agree with the opinion
and recommendation provided by 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 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.
