IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-05230
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, Block 28, Narrative Reason for Separation, be amended to
reflect Forced Reduction at the Convenience of the Government.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She intended to complete her 4 year commitment but was released
from military service due to the convenience of the government.
Until this is corrected she is not eligible for any benefits.
Since her character of service was honorable she was unaware her
narrative reason was an issue until she went to enroll in
college.
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:
On 14 Oct 08, the applicant entered active duty.
According to her AF Form 910, Enlisted Performance Report (AB
thru TSgt), for the period ending 13 Jun 10, she received a
referral report with an overall rating of 2. The specific
reasons for the referral report were she received three Letters
of Reprimand (LOR) and an Unfavorable Information File (UIF) for
failure to report to duty and obey orders. She was also not
recommended for promotion and failed to meet fitness standards.
On 31 Aug 10, she was honorably discharged with a narrative
reason for separation of Completion of Required Active Service
and Reentry (RE) code 3A which denotes 1st term airman
separating before 36 months.
She served 1 year, 10 months and 17 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. The applicant did not provide any
evidence of an error or injustice to warrant the requested
change to her narrative reason for separation. Due to the
limited amount of records, DPSOR was unable to review her actual
discharge processing documentation for accuracy. Based on
documents that are on file in her records, the discharge to
include the Separation Program Designator (SPD) code, narrative
reason for separation and character of service was consistent
with the procedural and substantive requirements of the Air
Force instruction and Military Personnel Flight Memorandum
(MPFM) 10-43 and was within the discretion of the discharge
authority. The applicant was separated under the FY10 Date of
Separation (DOS) Rollback Program with a SPD of JBK. IAW MPFM
10-43, airmen with RE codes 2X (Denied Reenlistment), 3D
(Declined Permanent Change of Station Retainability), 3E
(Declined Training, 4H (Serving Suspended Punishment Pursuant to
Article 15) and 4I (Serving on Control Roster) were subject to
discharge under the rollback program. Although the applicants
records are limited, they do reveal she had a referral report
that mentions non-recommendation for promotion, three LORs, a
UIF, and the phrase administered multiple UCMJ articles at the
time the DOS Rollback was initiated, therefore, she became a
candidate for early separation.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 13 Jan 14, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit
D). As of this date, this office has not received a response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 timely file.
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 that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, we
find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in 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.
