RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-04833
			COUNSEL: NO
			HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) code be changed from 6T, which denotes “Air 
National Guard (ANG) Unsatisfactory Participant/Potential 
Unsatisfactory Participant” to an eligible code that will allow 
him to serve in the ANG.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He believes the status on his NGB Form 22, Report of Separation 
and Record of Service is erroneous due to the Base Realignment 
and Closure (BRAC) of his unit in 2007.

He was never provided a copy of his NGB Form 22, nor was he 
present to sign it.  The BRAC caused him to leave his duty 
station and feels that he served with honor and integrity during 
his short period of service. 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Forms 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty; NGB Form 22 and various other documents associated with 
his request. 

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

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s NGB Form 22, Report of Separation 
and Record of Service, on 22 Jun 06, he enlisted into the ANG.  
He is credited with 3 years, 4 months and 22 days of service 

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PP recommends denial.  The applicant did not complete his 
military service obligation which led to his discharge.  AFI 36-
3209, Separation and Retirement Procedures for ANG and Air Force 
Reserve Members, states if a member has not fulfilled their 
military service obligation they may be discharged for 
unsatisfactory participation when the commander concerned has 
determined that the individual has no potential for useful 
service under conditions of full mobilization.  Member may be 
discharged when the member has accumulated nine of more 
unexcused absences from Unit Training Assemblies within a 12-
month period.

The applicant’s ANG unit provided attendance rosters and 
confirmed he was absent for numerous drills; therefore, his 
claim is invalid. 

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit B.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 6 Dec 13, for review and comment with 30 days 
(Exhibit C).  As of this date, this office has not received a 
response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of an 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 the rationale expressed 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.
