RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05460
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation (Miscellaneous/General
Reasons) and corresponding separation code of KND be changed
to reflect voluntary separation from the Air Force under a
reduction in force program.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was voluntarily separated from the Air Force under the
reduction in force program while he was a first term airman.
His character of service was honorable and he would like his
narrative reason for separation to reflect the same.
The applicant provides no documentation in support of his
appeal.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 December
2002.
AF IMT 31, Airmans Request for Early Separation Separation
Based on Change in Service Obligation, reflects that on 9 June
2004, the applicant requested separation under the Limited
Active Duty Service Commitment (LADSC) Waiver Program Force
Shaping Program Phase II.
The applicant was honorably discharged on 15 August 2004 in the
grade of airman first class under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208 (Miscellaneous/General Reasons). He served 1 year, 8
months and 13 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR state the applicants date
of separation was approved IAW MPFM 04-35. MPFM 04-05,
attachment 2, states that the LADSC Waiver Program allows
officers and enlisted personnel to either retire or separate
prior to completing specified ADSCs or service commitments
inclusive of normal DOS/ETS. Personnel who separate will do so
under the miscellaneous provision of AFI 36-3208. The narrative
reason for separation of Miscellaneous/General Reasons is the
correct narrative reason for separation.
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. The
applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the separation processing. The
applicant provided no facts warranting a change to his
separation action.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he is currently a GS-13 working for the
Department of State. When he initiated this request he was a
GS-12 working for the Department of the Navy and was seeking new
employment. During interviews with the Department of Defense
his discharge was questioned the interviewer felt that
general reasons did not satisfactorily explain his separation;
they believed it should reflect voluntary separation under a
reduction in force program. His narrative reason for separation
made it incredibly difficult to compete for a promotional
position within the federal government. Also, he was not
informed that he would not be eligible for the Montgomery GI
Bill, or the VA Housing Loan, upon separation due to individual
length of service requirements. He is able to take advantage of
partial education benefits. Unless the narrative reason for
separation is changed to reflect that he voluntarily separated
he is not eligible for the VA Housing Loan.
The applicants complete response, with attachment, is at
Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
_
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 an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission to include his
rebuttal comments 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 available evidence of
record, it appears the discharge was consistent with the
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and within
the commander's discretionary authority. The applicant has
provided no evidence, which would lead us to believe the
narrative reason for separation was contrary to the provisions
of the governing regulation. Therefore, 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 the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of
proof of the existence of an error or injustice. 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 an 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.
