RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:	BC-2008-03251 INDEX CODE:	110.00
COUNSEL:	NONE HEARING DESIRED:	NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her	narrative	reason	for	separation	(completion	of	required active service) be changed.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was discharged under the Date of Separation (DOS) Rollback Program.

In support of her request, the applicant provided a personal statement and documents extracted from her military personnel records.

Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 29 March 2005. She served as a Security Forces Journeyman.

On 24 August 2006, the applicant received nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) for failing to maintain sufficient funds in her bank account for payment of checks that were presented for payment.  Her punishment consisted of a reduction in grade to airman basic, with the reduction below airman suspended until 2 March 2007; a forfeiture of $636.00 pay per month for two months, suspended through 2 March 2007, 30 days correctional custody, and a reprimand.

An AF Form 3212, Record of Supplementary Action under Article 15, Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), dated 14 September 2006 indicates the portion of the punishment which called for 30 days correctional custody was mitigated to restriction to the limits of Aviano Air Base, Italy, for 30 days and 15 days extra duty.

On 1 August 2007, the applicant was honorably discharged in the grade of airman first class.	She served 2 years, 4 months and
3 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states airmen separated under the DOS Rollback Program were separated IAW AFI 36-3208, paragraph 2.2 (completion of required active service). Airmen were separated with Separation Program Designation (SPD) code JBK (less than six years of active service) or LBK (more than six years of active service).  The statement on the applicant's DD Form 214 refers to completion of the first full term of service, in this case 28 March 2009. Although the applicant was identified for involuntary separation under the DOS rollback program, it did not change the applicant's initial term of service for which she agreed to serve.

Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel records, the discharge to include her characterization of service was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge manual and was within the discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence of an error or injustice to warrant the requested action.

The complete DPSOS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 9 January 2009, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that given the circumstances surrounding her separation from the Air Force, the narrative reason for separation assigned was proper and in compliance with the appropriate instructions. Therefore, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the office of
1.	

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.

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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.
