 COUNSEL: None 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His National Guard Bureau (NGB) Form 22, Report of Separation and 
Record of Service, be changed to reflect “Satisfactory” rather 
than “Substandard (unsatisfactory) performance” in Block 23. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He believes his NGB Form 22 is incorrect, in that, in accordance 
with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3209, Separation and 
Retirement Procedures for Air National Guard and Air Force 
Reserve Members, paragraph 3.18, the reason reflected in Block 
23, shall not be used if a member is in an entry-level status. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
NGB Form 22 and an excerpt of AFI 36-3209. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant is a former member of the Air National Guard, who 
served from 5 October 2005 to 8 November 2008 and was 
progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman (E-4). His 
NGB Form 22 indicates he was honorably discharged effective 
8 November 2008 for substandard (unsatisfactory) performance in 
accordance with AFI 36-3209, paragraph 3.18. He served three 
years, one month, and four days of satisfactory Federal service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

NGB/A1POE recommends denial. A1POE states that in accordance 
with AFI 36-3209, Attachment 1, “Entry-level status ends 180 days 
after beginning an initial period of entry-level active duty 
training. The applicant served more than 180 days as indicated 
in Block 13 on his NGB 22. 


 

The complete A1POE evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 5 October 2011 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit 
C). 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 that 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 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.
