RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01762
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, Block 26, Separation Code, FND and Block 28, Narrative
Reason for Separation, Miscellaneous/General Reasons be
corrected to reflect at the convenience of the government.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She separated from the Air Force under the Fiscal Year 2007, Air
Force - Force Shaping Limited Active Duty Service (LADSC) Waiver
Program. However, her DD Form 214 as currently written is
impacting her ability to utilize her Department of Veterans
Affairs (DVA) benefits.
She applied twice through the DVA for a home loan; however, DVA
has on both occasions denied her application. For her to meet
DVAs eligibility requirements, her DD Form 214 must reflect
separation under Force Shaping and for at the convenience of
the government.
In support of her request, the applicant has submitted copies of
her DD Form 214, AF Form 780, Officer Separation Actions, dated
28 Jul 06, and Separation Approval computer generated rip.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 11 Jul
05.
On 22 Dec 06, the applicant was furnished an Honorable
discharge, and was credited with 1 year, 5 months, and 12 days
of active service.
The applicants DD Form 214 reflects her Separation Code as
FND and Narrative Reason for Separation as
Miscellaneous/General Reasons.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or an injustice.
Although it falls under the umbrella of Force Shaping, the LADSC
Waiver Program is a separate program with separate criteria for
applying. The applicant submitted a request for separation
under this program and her request was approved, thus allowing
her to leave early by waiving all active duty service
commitments. Consequently, the applicant was separated from the
Air Force with an Honorable discharge as indicated on her DD
Form 214. Personnel who do not voluntarily separate meet the
Force Shaping Board and those who are selected for separation by
the panel receive the "Reduction in Force" narrative reason for
separation and SPD code.
In accordance with MPFM 06-50, Air Force - Force Shaping Program
FY07, dated 26 Jul 06, personnel who separate under the LADSC
Waiver Program will do so under the miscellaneous provisions of
AFI 36-3207, Separating Commissioned Officers, Chapter 2,
Paragraph 2.4.17. Therefore, the Separation Program Designator
(SPD) code of FND and the corresponding narrative reason for
separation (Miscellaneous General Reasons) on her DD Form 214
are correct and in accordance with Air Force guidelines and
instructions.
A complete copy of the AFPC/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 1 Oct 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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, the Board majority does not find
the applicants assertions and the documentation presented in
support of her appeal sufficiently persuasive to override the
rationale provided by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility. The evidence of record indicates the applicant
requested early separation under the Force Shaping LADSC
Program. She was subsequently released from active duty for
miscellaneous/general reasons. We find no evidence which would
lead us to believe that her separation was improper or contrary
to the governing directive under which it was affected.
Furthermore, no evidence has been presented that she was treated
differently from others similarly situated. In view of the
foregoing and in the absence of sufficient evidence to the
contrary, the Board majority finds no basis to recommend
granting the requested relief.
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD:
A majority of the panel finds insufficient evidence of error or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.
The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket
Number BC-2014-01762 in Executive Session on 7 Apr 15 and 18 Aug
15 under the provisions of AFI 36-2603:
