RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03415
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His character of service be changed from uncharacterized to
honorable.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His discharge characterization was unfair due to him being
unable to physically complete the Tactical Air Control Party
(TACP) Preparatory Course.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
According to the applicants DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from Active Duty, on 29 Nov 10, he enlisted in the
Regular Air Force.
On 23 Mar 11, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending he be discharged from the Air Force for Entry
Level Performance or Conduct, specifically, failure to make
satisfactory progress in a required training program. The
specific reason for this action was he was restricted from
participating in any Battle Field training and as a result, he
was removed from the TACP Preparatory Course.
On 23 Mar 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
discharge notification, waived his right to consult with legal
counsel and to submit statements in his behalf.
On 25 Mar 11, the discharge authority concurred with the
commanders recommendation and directed his immediate
separation.
?
On 29 Mar 11, the applicant received an entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service. The narrative reason for
separation is Entry level Performance or Conduct. He was
credited with four months and one day of total active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. The applicant did not submit any
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in
the discharge processing. Airmen are given entry-level
separation/ uncharacterized service characterizations 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 of continuous active
service, it would be unfair to the member and the service to
characterize their limited service. In accordance with DoD
and Air Force instructions, the applicant must be separated
with an entry level separation since he was only on active
duty for 114 days when the discharge action was initiated.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AETC/SGPS recommends denial. The applicant did not submit any
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in
the discharge processing. A review of the applicants medical
records revealed that he was restricted from completing training
due to his knee pain. The separation was done in accordance
with established policy and administrative procedures.
The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 10 Feb 15 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their 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.
