IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03754
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation be changed to Early
Discharge, instead of Unsatisfactory Performance in order to
receive Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When she failed to pass her test for her job, she was offered an
early discharge from the Air Force; however, her DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty, states
Unsatisfactory Performance.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
DD Form 214 and Airman Performance Report (APR).
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate she enlisted
in the Regular Air Force on 13 Dec 85.
On 17 Apr 87, the applicants commander notified her that he was
recommending her discharge from the Air Force for unsatisfactory
performance. The specific reason for the action was the
applicants failure to progress in on-the-job training.
On 17 Apr 87, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action,
her right to consult with legal counsel, and submit statements
in her own behalf and, on the same date, she waived her right to
submit statements.
On 13 May 87, the case was found legally sufficient and, on
14 May 87, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
furnished an honorable discharge.
On 14 May 87, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge
with a narrative reason for separation of Unsatisfactory
Performance. She was credited with one year, five months and
two days of total active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. Numerous attempts were made to
rehabilitate and assist the applicant with her upgrade training.
She was afforded ample opportunity to overcome her deficiencies.
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records, the discharge to include the service characterization
was appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence
that an error or injustice occurred in the processing of her
discharge and has provided no facts warranting a change to her
narrative reason for separation.
A complete copy of the DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 14 Nov 13 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 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 agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility
(OPR) 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 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.
