IN THE MATTER OF:                                 DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2020-00774

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX                              COUNSEL: NONE	 

                                                                         HEARING REQUESTED: NOT INDICATED

APPLICANT’S REQUEST

Her date of separation (DOS) be corrected to 31 Jan 20, instead of 30 Jan 20.  

APPLICANT’S CONTENTIONS

She received her orders and DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, which showed her DOS as 30 Jan 20.  She informed the person who processed her orders she would not be departing basic military training (BMT) until 31 Jan 20 but they would not fix her paperwork.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

The applicant is a former airman first class (E-3).  

On 30 Jan 20, the applicant was discharged  with an Entry Level Separation, uncharacterized character of service and narrative reason for separation of “Entry Level Performance and Conduct (Get-Fit).”  

For more information, see the excerpt of the applicant’s record at Exhibit B and the advisory at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION

AFPC/DP2STM recommends denial.  The applicant was discharged from Basic Military Training.  There is no provision that requires separating individuals to be transported to their separation destination on their exact date of separation.  The date of her departure has no bearing on her DOS since she departed the next day.  The complete advisory opinion is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION

The Board sent a copy of the advisory opinion to the applicant on 25 Mar 20 for comment (Exhibit D), but has received no response.

FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION

1.  The application was timely filed.

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

3.  After reviewing all Exhibits, the Board concludes the applicant is not the victim of an error or injustice.  The Board concurs with the rationale and recommendation of AFPC/DP2STM and finds a preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate the applicant’s contentions.  Therefore, the Board recommends against correcting the applicant’s records.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board recommends informing the applicant the evidence did not demonstrate material error or injustice, and the Board will reconsider the application only upon receipt of relevant evidence not already presented.
