RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2008-01643 INDEX CODE:	110.02
COUNSEL:	HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The narrative reason for discharge on his DD Form 214 be changed to reflect "to go to school" vs. miscellaneous/general reasons.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He left the Air Force to attend the Army's Officer Candidate School (OCS). He got hurt at OCS and received an administrative discharge from the Army. The Air Force DD Form 214 is stopping him from getting assigned wages. He needs the narrative reason for separation to state "to go to school" in order to receive benefits from the Security Commission.

In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of his promotion order dated 19 November 2007, a separation memorandum dated 5 February 2008, a DA Form 4187, Personnel Action, and a DA Form 4856, Developmental Counseling Form.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant's DD Form 214 reflects he served on active duty in the Regular Air Force for 1 year, 1 month and 19 days. He received an honorable discharge on 30 October 2007; under the provisions of the FY07 Force Shaping, Blue-to-Green Program.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS has reviewed the applicant's request and recommends denial. DPSOS states that the applicant was separated from the Air Force on 30 October 2007 under the provision of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, for miscellaneous reasons and the Military Personnel Flight Memorandum 07-59; Air Force, Force Shaping, dated 22 August 2007.

Based on the applicant's request for separation, he was given the appropriate narrative reason under the FY07 Blue to Green Program; which was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge instructions.

The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation, with attachments, was forwarded to the applicant on 25 July 2008 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this office has received no response.

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 error or injustice. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, it appears the narrative reason the applicant is requesting be added to his DD Form 214 is not the appropriate narrative reason according to established guidance for those discharged under the FY07 Force Shaping, Blue-to-Green Program. Therefore, 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 that the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.
