RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05173
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her narrative reason for separation (Unsatisfactory Performance)
and corresponding separation code (JHJ) be changed to a medical
reason.
Her reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was medically unfit due to migraines and mental health
issues caused by a concussion received during basic military
training.
In support of the applicants appeal, she provides medical
documentation, DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty and other documentation.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant's military personnel records could not be located.
Therefore, the facts and circumstances surrounding her
separation are not available. The following information was
obtained from a copy of her DD Form 214.
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 October
2001.
On 6 March 2003, the applicant was honorably discharged in the
grade of airman first class under the provisions AFI 36-3208.
She served 1 year, 5 months and 3 on active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states the separation code
and narrative reason for separation listed on the applicants
DD Form 214 are consistent with one another for this type of
discharge. There is insufficient evidence contained within the
applicant's military record to confirm the circumstances and
facts surrounding the applicant's discharge. Absent the
documentation, there is a presumption of regularity in which the
applicant was afforded due process and the discharge was
consistent with procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge regulation.
The applicant failed to submit any evidence that an error or
injustice occurred in the processing of the discharge action.
Therefore, the discharge to include the narrative reason for
separation, SPD code, and characterization of service were
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of
the discharge instruction and was within the discretion of
discharge authority.
The DPSOR complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA the applicant does not
provide any proof of an error or injustice in reference to her
RE code, but wants to reenter the military. On 30 Dec 2013,
AFPC/DPSOR validated the applicant's discharge processing with
the limited records that were available. The RE code 2C is the
correct RE code based on applicant's involuntary discharge with
honorable character of service.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 7 July 2014, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within
30 days (Exhibit E). 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. Due to the
limited records available and based upon the presumption of
regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs, we must
assume that the applicant's discharge was proper and in
compliance with appropriate directives. We find no evidence of
error or injustice in the available records and without evidence
to support the applicant's appeal we find no basis upon which to
favorably consider this application. Therefore, in view of the
foregoing, we conclude that no basis exists upon which to
recommend favorable action on his request.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
