RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02157

	 		COUNSEL: NONE

			HEARING DESIRED: NO


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

1.  The break in service between his transfer from active duty 
to the Air National Guard (ANG) be eliminated.

2.  The following corrections be made to his DD Form 214, 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty:

a.	Item 8b, Last Duty Assignment and Major Command

	b. Item 9, Command to Which Transferred, from 


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He should have been transferred directly from active duty to the 
ANG without a break in service. In addition items 8b and 9 on 
his DD Form 214 are incorrect.

In support of his requests, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 4, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document Armed Forces of the 
United States;  AF IMT 1298, Application for Ready Reserve 
Assignment and DD Form 1966, Record of Military Processing - 
Armed Forces of the United States.

His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, he served on active 
duty from 1 December 2009 to 1 September 2013.  His narrative 
reason for separation is “Miscellaneous/General Reasons.”

According to Reserve Order DA-00029 dated 9 October 2013, the 
applicant was relieved from the Air Force Reserve Center and 
assigned to the Ohio ANG (OHANG) effective 2 September 2013.

Special Order P-008-OH, issued on 15 October 2013, reflects the 
applicant enlisted for a period of six years and was assigned in 
the OHANG effective 2 September 2013.



AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

NGB/A1PP recommends denial.  According to AFI 36-3205, Applying 
for the Palace Chase and Palace Front Programs, a member’s date 
of enlistment is the day after their date of separation from the 
Air Force.  Service members cannot be associated with more than 
one component at a time.  AFI 36-3205 instructs both losing and 
gaining units how to process Palace Chase and Palace Front 
participants.

The complete A1PP evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  The applicant submitted a 
voluntary request for separation under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, using the automated 
Personnel Processing Application.  Specifically, he applied 
under miscellaneous/general reasons, so that he could join the 
ANG.  The discharge authority approved the separation and 
directed the applicant be released with an honorable service 
characterization effective 1 September 2013.

Item 8b is correct as indicated on the applicant's DD Form 214. 
Separations processing has been centralized at the Air Force 
Personnel Center.  As a result of this centralization, all 
active duty DD Forms 214 are produced at this center and will 
have “JBSA Randolph AFB, TX” annotated in block 8b.  Once the 
board has completed its processing of this application, DPSOR 
will correct Item 9, Command to Which Transferred, from USAFR to 
ANG, State of Ohio, since the applicant enlisted in the ANG the 
next day.

The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 10 October 2014, copies of the Air Force evaluations were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit E).


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 opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion that relief beyond that already granted 
administratively is not warranted.  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.
