RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01296
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her narrative reason for separation be changed from 
“Miscellaneous/General Reasons” to “Palace Chase.”


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The narrative reason for separation is incorrect as she went 
through the Palace Chase program under the 2014 Limited Active 
Duty Service Commitment (LADSC) Waiver Program.  She would like it 
changed so that she may receive TRICARE.  

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 8 Jul 09, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.

On 15 Mar 14, the applicant was release from active duty with a 
narrative reason for separation of “Miscellaneous/General 
Reasons.”


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  The applicant did not provide any 
evidence that an error or injustice occurred in the processing of 
his discharge.  In accordance with Personnel Services Delivery 
Memorandum (PSDM) 13-64, individuals who are approved under the 
LADSC Waiver Program are to be approved under AFI 36-3208, 
Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 3.15, Miscellaneous 
Reasons.  The narrative reason for separation reflected on the DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty 
will be “Miscellaneous/General Reasons.”  Therefore, the 
applicant’s Separation Program Designator (SPD) code and narrative 
reason for separation are correct as reflected on her DD Form 214.  
Since both the commander and the discharge authority recommended 
an honorable characterization, the character of service on her DD 
Form 214 is correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force 
instructions.  

The records show that she signed an AF IMT 1288, Application For 
Ready Reserve Assignment, on 5 Nov 13.  This application is used 
for individuals who want to join the Air National Guard (ANG) or 
the Air Force Reserves (AFR) after early release from active duty 
without any break in service.  The requirement for PALACE CHASE is 
that the applicant be accepted into the ANG or AFR prior to the 
applicant’s date of separation.  The records shows that the 
applicant was not accepted into an AFR unit until 17 Mar 14, which 
is the date the AFR unit commander signed the AF IMT 1288.  This 
date is two days after the applicant’s effective date of 
separation.  Therefore, her PALACE CHASE information could not be 
included on her separation orders.  The separation processing was 
properly completed in accordance with the applicable PSDM guidance 
and Air Force instructions.

The complete 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 16 May 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D).  
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 timely filed.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an 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 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, 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.


The following documentary evidence pertaining to AFBCMR Docket 
Number BC-2014-01296 was considered:

	Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, dated 27 Mar 14, w/atchs.
	Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
	Exhibit C.  Memorandum, AFPC/DPSOR, dated 11 Apr 14.
