AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04040 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry code (RE) 2C (involuntary separation with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to allow him to reenlist 
in the Ohio Air National Guard. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

While in technical school, he was unable to pass the basic air 
crew block one test. He is capable of far greater things. He 
is capable of passing college level tests and he did so while 
waiting to be discharged at Lackland Air Force Base. Serving in 
the Air Force has always been his dream and he is disappointed 
he is unable to do so. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, two supporting statements and a copy of his CLEP 
transcript. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 20 April 2010, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air 
Force. On 11 August 2010, the commander notified the applicant 
of his intent to discharge him from the Air Force for failing to 
make satisfactory progress in a required training program. The 
applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification memorandum 
and his right to consult an attorney and submit matters on his 
behalf: he declined both rights. The case was found legally 
sufficient on 17 August 2010. 

 

On 18 April 2010, the commander directed the applicant be 
discharged under the provision of AFI 36-3208, Administrative 
Separation of Airmen, for entry level performance or conduct: 
failure to make satisfactory progress in a required training 


program. He was separated with an entry level separation. His 
service was uncharacterized and his RE code was 2C. He was 
credited with serving 4 months and 1 day on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the discharge and 
the narrative reason for separation were appropriate and within 
the discretion of the discharge authority. 

 

The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states code 2C is required 
per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on his entry 
level separation and uncharacterized service. 

 

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 8 April 2011, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has received no 
response. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 find no evidence of an error or injustice. 
Therefore, 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 the applicant has 
not been the victim of an error or injustice. In view of the 
foregoing and absent evidence to the contrary, we conclude that 
no basis exists upon which to recommend favorable action on the 
applicant’s request. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

 

 


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.
