RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04628
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her entry-level separation with uncharacterized service be
upgraded to an honorable discharge.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She is having difficulties in finding gainful employment because
of her uncharacterized character of service. She served
honorably in the Air Force without receiving reprimands or
negative reports; therefore, her discharge should be upgraded to
honorable.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate she enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 15 January 2002.
On 21 May 2002, the applicant was notified by her commander of
his intent to recommend her discharge from the Air Force for
unsatisfactory entry-level performance or conduct. The specific
reason for the action was exceeding body fat or failure to meet
fitness standards.
On 21 May 2002, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
action, waived her right to legal counsel, and elected not to
submit a statement on her behalf.
On 22 May 2002, the case was found to be legally sufficient.
On 23 May 2002, the discharge authority directed the applicant
be furnished an entry-level separation with uncharacterized
service.
On 30 May 2002, the applicant was furnished an entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service with a narrative reason
for separation of Entry-level performance and conduct, and an
RE code of 2C (Entry-level separation without characterization
of service). She was credited with 4 months and 16 days of
total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR) 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 was appropriately
administered and within the discretion of the discharge
authority. Airmen in entry-level status should be discharged
when their unsatisfactory performance or conduct shows they are
not qualified to be productive members of the Air Force. They
are given entry-level separation with uncharacterized service
when separation is initiated within the first 180 days of
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD)
determined that it would be unfair to the Department or the
member to characterize a members limited service when such
service is less than 180 days. Therefore, she was appropriately
issued an RE code of 2C as the result of her entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service in accordance with DoD
and Air Force instructions.
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 14 December 2012 for review and comment within 30
days. 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 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 took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred during the discharge process. Based on
the evidence of record, it appears the applicants entry-level
separation, with uncharacterized service for unsatisfactory
entry-level performance or conduct, was consistent with the
substantive requirements of the governing instructions and
within the commanders discretionary authority. Therefore, in
view of the above and in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend favorable consideration
of the relief requested.
________________________________________________________________
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.
