RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00931 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be corrected to reflect the following: 1. His Separation Program Designator (SPD) code as JBK (expiration of term of service) instead of JGH (expeditious discharge). 2. His primary Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) airframe be F-15 instead of F-16 (Administratively resolved). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was advised during the application process for separation, the SPD code of JBK was the proper code for his circumstances. His signed request for separation form (AF IMT 100, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration) and the Reenlistment Eligibility Data Display (REDD) report, dated 18 Jun 13, substantiates his contention JBK as the proper code. Further, because he fulfilled the complete term of his enlistment, JBK more accurately describes his service. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 15 Apr 08, the applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force. On 4 Mar 13, the applicant’s commander notified him he was not selected for reenlistment via AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, under the FY13 Enlisted Date of Separation (DOS) Rollback Program due to misconduct in November 2012. On 4 Mar 13, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the non- selection for reenlistment notification and stated his intent to appeal. The applicant sought legal counsel and submitted statements on his own behalf. The commander denied the appeal on 10 Apr 13. On 1 May 13, the applicant’s request for separation orders (AF IMT 100) identified his SPD code as JBK (expiration of term of service) and his RE code as 2X. On 31 May 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge, with and SPD code of JGH (expeditious discharge) and RE code 2X, and was credited with 5 years, 1 month, and 16 days of active service. On 6 Mar 14, the AFBCMR considered and denied the applicant’s request to remove nonjudicial punishment under Article 15 and to change his RE code of 2X. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are included at Exhibits C and D. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice. The applicant’s commander did not recommend him for reenlistment under the 2013 DOS rollback program because the applicant received nonjudicial punishment for willfully failing to follow a technical order, for which he received a suspended reduction in grade, forfeiture of pay, and restriction to his military installation. He was subsequently separated with a RE code of 2X (first-term, second term or career airman was considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)). Due to the release date of the DOS Rollback program, the SPD code the “JBK” was not yet available in the military personnel database when he applied for separation; therefore, JGH was the appropriate SPD code. Between the date he applied for separation and the date he was separated, the SPD code of JGH was updated in the military personnel database and appropriately reflects the conditions of his separation. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSIC recommends granting relief to correct the duty AFSC, indicating there is sufficient evidence of an error or injustice. Pending the board’s final decision, the applicant’s DD Form 214, item 11, will be administratively corrected to state 2A353L, Tactical Aircraft Maintenance (Legacy) Journeyman, F-15. Years and months of service are not impacted and should remain the same. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSIC evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 28 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 warranting correction of the applicant’s records to reflect a change to his Separation Program Designator (SPD) code. 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 AFPC/DPSOR and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Additionally, we note AFPC/DPSIC has determined the applicant’s primary Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) airframe be F-15 instead of F-16, and will correct his records administratively. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting relief beyond that rendered administratively. 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.
