RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03094
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be changed to reflect her character of service as honorable
or medical.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her discharge status is not listed on her DD Form 214 and she was
not dishonorably discharged.
The Board should consider her untimely application in the interest
of justice because the DD Form 214 is part of her permanent record
and the small amount of time she served still serves as skills
learned.
The applicant did not provide any documentation in support of her
request.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 19 May 87, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 4 Jun 87, the applicant was notified of her commanders intent
to recommend she be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative Separation of Airmen for
Erroneous Enlistment. Specifically, it was determined the
applicant was pregnant prior to her enlistment and entry on active
duty, which would have disqualified her from enlistment. The
applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge,
waived her rights to consult with counsel and to submit a
statement on her own behalf
The case was determined to be legally sufficient to support
separation. On 9 Jun 87, the discharge authority approved the
separation and directed the applicant be discharged with
uncharacterized service. On 10 Jun 87, the applicant was
discharged with uncharacterized service (entry-level) in the grade
of airman basic. She was credited with 22 days active duty
service time.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states that the documentation
on file in the master personnel records reflects the discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge regulation and was within the discretion of the
discharge authority.
Airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first
180 days of continuous active service. The Department of Defense
(DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days continuous
active service, it would be unfair to the member and the service
to characterize their limited service. Therefore, her
uncharacterized service is correct and in accordance with DoD and
Air Force instructions.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
APPLICANTS REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 12 Jan 15, 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 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
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.
