AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02343
COUNSEL: NO
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Narrative Reason for Separation in box 28 on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty be changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not discharged for misconduct. She was given the option to remain in the Air Force; however, she chose to be discharged. She was the only African-American working in the Post Office, and was discriminated against. She spoke up for herself and was sent to see the commander.
She was 19 years old at the time of her discharge. She is uncomfortable with the narrative reason for separation on her DD Form 214, but did not know she could have it corrected until now.
In support of her request the applicant provides a copy of her DD Form 214.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records are unavailable. Her DD Form 214 reflects that she enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 25 Jan 96. On 22 Sep 97, she was discharged with service characterized as general (under honorable conditions). She served 1 year, 7 months and 28 days of active military service.
On 12 Feb 14, the AFBCMR staff offered the applicant an opportunity to provide information pertaining to her activities since leaving the service (Exhibit B). As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. Based on the presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs, we must assume the applicants discharge and service characterization were proper and in compliance with the directive under which it was effected. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES 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.
