STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 26 Jul 11, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. 

 

On 7 Mar 12, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was 
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for unsatisfactory 
duty performance for failure to make satisfactory progress in a 
required training program. The specific reason for the 
discharge action was the applicant self-eliminated from Combat 
Control Operator Course. The applicant was offered 
reclassification and declined. 

 

After consulting with legal counsel, the applicant acknowledged 
receipt of the action and waived to submit a statement in his 
own behalf. 

 



On 12 Mar 12, the legal office reviewed the case and found it 
legally sufficient and recommended the applicant be honorably 
discharged. 

 

On 13 Mar 12, the discharge authority concurred and directed the 
applicant be honorably discharged. 

 

On 15 Mar 12, the applicant was so discharged and was credited 
with four months and four days of total active service.

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. 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 material 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.
