RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2008-02756 INDEX CODE:	110.02

COUNSEL:	NONE HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her	narrative	reason	for	separation	(Fraudulent	Entry	into Military Service) be changed.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
During the time of her application to the Air Force she was not taking any type of depression medication. She did not have any symptoms and felt fine at the time. This quickly changed after spending time at basic training, because her depression returned and caused an anxiety and adjustment disorder.

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 Jun 08.
On 19 Jun 08, the applicant was notified by her commander he was recommending she be discharged from the Air Force for fraudulent entry. The specific reason for this action was the applicant intentionally withheld a prior service medical condition. Specifically, she had a history of mental health treatment not documented on her DD Form 2807-1, Report of Medical History.

She acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge, waived her right to counsel, and her right to submit statements in her own behalf. The case file was found legally sufficient to support discharge and the discharge authority approved the separation. On 24 Jun 08, the applicant was discharged with an uncharacterized entry level separation by reason of fraudulent entry into military service. She served 23 days of active military service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the documentation on file in the master personnel record supports the basis for discharge.  The discharge was consistent with the procedural and

substantive requirements of the discharge instruction 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 character of service is correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.

The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any error or injustice that occurred in the discharge processing. Additionally, she provided no facts warranting an upgrade to her narrative reason for separation.

The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 7 Nov 08, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a response has not been received.

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. After careful review of the applicant’s complete submission, the discharge appears to be in compliance with the governing instruction and we find no evidence to indicate that her separation was inappropriate. Therefore, we agree with the findings 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 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.
