RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03510
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Narrative Reason for Separation, as reflected on his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be
changed to reflect Hardship rather than Entry Level
Performance and Conduct.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His separation was based on hardship.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________ ______________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Oct 85, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 7 Mar 86, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for failure to
make satisfactory progress in a required training program (Jet
Engine Mechanic Course). The specific reason for the discharge
action was on 20 Feb 86, the applicant failed Block II, Jet
Engine Repair Test, with a score of 58 percent; and on 27 Feb
86, he failed the Block II retest with a score 60 percent. The
required passing minimum score was 70 percent. He was
academically eliminated from training on 4 Mar 86. While the
applicants academic ability was average, the instructor
believed the applicant lacked confidence and his attitude
towards the course was indifferent.
On 7 Mar 86, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification and, after consulting with legal counsel, waived
his right to submit a statement in his own behalf.
On 11 Mar 86, the discharge authority directed discharge with an
entry level separation for performance and conduct. The
applicant was credited with 4 months and 15 days of total active
service.
________________________________________________________________
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 available evidence of record, it appears the applicants
entry-level separation for failure to progress satisfactorily in
required training was consistent with the substantive
requirements of the governing instructions and within the
commanders discretionary authority. He has provided no
evidence which would lead us to believe his entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service was improper or contrary
to the provisions of the governing directive, or the narrative
reason for separation issued in conjunction with his entry-level
separation was erroneous or inappropriately assigned.
Therefore, absent evidence the applicant was not afforded rights
to which he was entitled, there was an abuse of discretionary
authority, or appropriate standards were not applied, we find no
basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
________________________________________________________________
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.
