RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00933 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed from “2” to “1” 
so that he can reenlist in the Air Force. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He had a minor injury to his leg prior to his entrance into the 
Air Force. He was unaware the injury was in his medical records 
and forgot he ever went to the doctor. It was not his intent to 
hide anything. Because of the designation “Fraudulent entry into 
military service”, he is now unable to reenlist. He was truly 
unaware of the consequences of his discharge when he left basic 
training and, other than his own stupidity, he has no other 
evidence to submit. He is older and wiser now and, if given the 
chance, could be a model member of the Air Force. He would like 
his RE code changed from a 2 to a 1 so he can reenlist in the Air 
Force. 

 

Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

Applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 22 Mar 05. On 27 Apr 05, 
after 26 days of service, he was involuntarily separated for 
fraudulent entry into military service for not disclosing a knee 
injury he had received prior to enlisting. He received an RE code 
of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or 
entry level separation without characterization of service.”

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS notes the failure to disclose a 
condition or diagnosis during the enlistment process, while an 
administrative issue, calls into question the applicant’s 
integrity and casts doubt on any of his further statements. 
Additionally, the lack of medical documentation surrounding the 


exact cause of the knee pain is insufficient to make an accurate 
assessment of current function. 

 

SGPS’s complete evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPOSOA states the applicant has not 
provided evidence to support his request he be assigned an RE code 
that would enable his reenlistment. The current RE code is 
correct under the circumstances for which it was assigned. 

 

DPSOA’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 26 Sep 09 for review and comment within 30 days. 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 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 
AFPC/DPSOA and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
that 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.
