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.
