RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03367
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be amended to change or remove the statement Member has not
completed first full term of service. Member is not [Transitional
Assistance Management Program] TAMP eligible from the remarks
section (block 18).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She separated under the force shaping program, but is now being
told the statements in the remarks section of her DD Form 214 are
preventing her from obtaining a home loan through the Department
of Veterans Affairs (DVA). She believes her honorable discharge
should qualify her for a DVA home loan.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 4 May 04, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
On 12 Jan 05, the applicant voluntarily requested to separate from
the Air Force, under the Force Shaping Program; Limited Active
Duty Service Commitment (LADSC) Waiver Program; Miscellaneous
Separations, as noted on her signed AF Form 31, Airmans Request
for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change in Service
Obligation.
On 25 May 05, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge,
and was credited with 9 months, and 22 days of active service.
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. The applicant submitted a voluntary
request for separation under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
Administrative Separation of Airmen, using the AF Form 31,
Airman's Request for Early Separation/Separation Based on Change
in Service Obligation. She requested early release from her
active duty service commitment under the LADSC waiver program.
The applicant's net active service was only 9 months and 22 days
at the time of her discharge and she was approved for early
release from her active duty service commitment; therefore, the
remark "Member has not completed first full term of service," on
the DD Form 214 is correct as indicated. Individuals separating
under the LADSC waiver program were required to submit voluntary
requests under miscellaneous/general" reasons; thus, the
Separation Program Designator (SPD) code and narrative reason for
separation are correct as indicated on the applicant's DD Form
214. The discharge to include the SPD code, narrative reason for
separation and character of service was appropriately administered
and within the discretion of the discharge authority.
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 10 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 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.
