STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 8 March 2011. 

 

The applicant was notified by his commander of his intent to 
recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force under the 
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, chapter 5, section 5C, 
paragraph 5.15. The specific reason was that the applicant had a 
history of mental health treatment that was not documented. Had 
the Air Force known, it could have rendered him ineligible to 
enlist in the Air Force. 

 

He was advised of his rights in this matter and acknowledged 
receipt of the notification. The applicant waived his right to 
consult with counsel and waived his right to submit statements in 
his own behalf. In a legal review of the case file, the 
assistant staff judge advocate found the case legally sufficient 
and recommended an entry level separation. 

 

 

 

 

 


On 28 March 2011, the discharge authority concurred with the 
recommendation and directed discharge. The applicant was 
discharged on 29 March 2011 with an entry level separation.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states based on the 
documentation on file in the master personnel records the 
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive 
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the 
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not 
submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that 
occurred in the discharge processing. He provided no facts 
warranting a change to his separation code, reentry code or his 
narrative reason for separation. 

 

The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

On 19 August 2011, 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 error or injustice. We took notice 
of the applicant’s 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 or injustice. Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 


The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of an error or an 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.
