RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-00970
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His separation code of JBK, which denotes “Completion of Required 
Active Service; Denied Reenlistment with Half Separation Pay,” be 
changed to LCC, which denotes “Reduction in Force with Full 
Separation Pay.”	

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was discharged based on reduction of force not completion of 
service.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 16 Nov 2010, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.

On 9 Nov 2011, the applicant was notified by his commander that 
he was not recommending him for reenlistment in the Air Force.  
His reason for this action was the applicant had negative 
quality force indicators.

On 17 Nov 2011, the applicant acknowledged receipt of his non-
selection for reenlistment and indicated that he did not intend 
to appeal this decision.

On 31 Mar 2012, the applicant was honorably discharged.  His 
narrative reason for separation is “Completion of Required 
Active Service.”  He served 1 year, 4 months and 15 days of 
active service.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  DPSOR states that the applicant 
did not provide any evidence of an error or injustice that 
occurred in the discharge processing.  Based on the 
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the 
applicant’s discharge to include his separation code was 
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of 
the discharge instruction and was within the discretion of the 
discharge authority.  The applicant was separated under the 
“Fiscal Year 2012 Enlisted DOS Rollback Program.”  This program 
utilized either the separation code JBK (less than six years of 
active service) or LBK (more than six years of active service) 
with a corresponding narrative reason for separation of 
“Completion of Required Active Service.”  The applicant’s 
discharge was correctly administered on the basis of his reentry 
code of 2X, which denotes “Denied Reenlistment.”

The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 14 Apr 2013, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.  As of 
this date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit 
D).

________________________________________________________________

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 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.
