RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05334
COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her service characterization be changed from uncharacterized to
honorable.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
A change in the narrative reason for separation and character of
service reflected on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Service is essential so she can reenlist.
In support of her request, the applicant provides copies of her
DD Form 214 and Recommendation for Discharge memorandum.
Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 17 Jan 2012, the applicant enlisted in the regular Air Force.
On 5 Jun 2012, her commander notified her he was recommending
she be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of
AFPD 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations and AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. The reason for this
action was for entry level performance or conduct, specifically,
failure to make satisfactory progress in a required training
program. The detailed reasons are reflected in the Notification
Memorandum at Exhibit B.
On 5 Jun 2012, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
discharge notification and waived her rights to consult with
legal counsel or to submit statements.
On 7 Jun 2012, the Assistant Staff Judge Advocate found the
discharge legally sufficient.
On 13 Jun 2012, she received an entry level separation with
uncharacterized service. The narrative reason for separation
was Entry Level Performance or Conduct. She served 4 months
and 27 days of total active service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states that they found no
evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of her
discharge. Airmen are given entry-level separation or
uncharacterized service characterization when separation is
initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service.
The Department of Defense determined if a member served less
than 180 days of continuous active service; it would be unfair
to the member and the service to characterize their limited
service. Therefore, her uncharacterized character of service is
correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The documentation on file in the master personnel records
supports the basis for discharge to include her character of
service and narrative reason for separation. The applicant did
not submit any evidence or identify any error or injustice that
occurred in the discharge processing.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 25 Jan 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant 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 timely filed.
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 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 RECOMMENDS 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.
