 	COUNSEL:  NONE

 	HEARING:  NO

APPLICANT’S REQUEST.   Her entry level separation (ELS) on 14 May 87 be upgraded to honorable.  

APPLICANT’S CONTENTION.    She was discharged for medical reasons, to include flat feet. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS.    The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 31 Mar 87 and was discharged on 14 May 1987 with an ELS.  She served 1 month and 14 days of active duty service.  

On 2 Nov 16, the AFBCMR provided the applicant with an opportunity to provide information pertaining to her post service activities in support of clemency.  As of this date, no response has been received.  For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:   AFPC/DP2STM recommends denial.  On 21 Apr 87, the applicant was notified of the recommendation for discharge for entry level performance or conduct for failure to make satisfactory progress in the training program.  Airmen are given ELS with uncharacterized service when the discharge is initiated within the first 180 days of continuous active service.   The complete advisory is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION.  The Board sent a copy of the Air Force evaluation to the applicant on 24 Aug 17 for comment (Exhibit E), but has received no response.

THE BOARD CONCLUDES:

1.  The application was not timely filed.  However, it is in the interest of justice to excuse the delay.  

2.  The applicant exhausted all available avenues of non-judicial relief before applying to the Board.  

3.  After thoroughly reviewing all Exhibits, it is the Board’s opinion that the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with AFPC/DP2STM and finds that a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:  The APPLICANT be informed that the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice; the application was denied without a personal appearance; and the application will only be reconsidered upon receipt of relevant evidence not already considered by the Board.
