military service.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

in the Air Force. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
and DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, and AF IMT 100, Request and Authorization for Separation. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 23 Feb 10, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. He served as a Diagnostic Imaging Helper. 

 

On 14 Jun 10, his commander notified him that she was 
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for entry-level 
performance or conduct. The specific reason for the discharge 
action was he was disenrolled from the Diagnostic Imaging 
Apprentice course due to failing Block 3, Unit 10, Test a; and 
Block 4, Unit 8, Test a. 

 

The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of 
discharge and, after consulting with counsel, waived his to 
submit statements in his own behalf. 

 

The legal office reviewed the case, found it legally sufficient 
to support separation, and recommended separation with an entry-
level separation without probation and rehabilitation. 

 


On 24 Jun 10, the discharge authority directed the applicant’s 
discharge with an entry-level separation. He was furnished an 
entry-level separation with uncharacterized serviceon 25 Jun 10. 
He served four months and three days of active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating the applicant has not 
provided any evidence showing the RE code he received was 
errorneous or unjust. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 4 Mar 11 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 an error or an injustice to warrant 
changing the applicant’s RE code of “2C.” The evidence of record 
indicates the applicant was given an entry-level separation with 
uncharacterized service for “entry level performance and 
conduct.” After a thorough review of the applicant’s complete 
submission and evidence of record, we find no evidence which 
would lead us to believe that his entry-level separation with 
uncharacterized service was improper or contrary to the governing 
instruction under which it was effected. We also find no 
evidence the contested RE code, issued in conjunction with his 
entry-level separation, was erroneously assigned or inaccurately 
reflected the circumstances of his separation. Notwithstanding 
the above, we are persuaded that corrective action is warranted 
regarding the applicant’s narrative reason for separation. This 
Board has previously determined in similar cases that where the 
evidence appears to clearly indicate the service member was 
discharged for performance and not any misconduct, the narrative 
reason should be amended by deleting the words “and conduct” from 
the narrative reason for separation. Therefore, in the interest 


of equity and justice, we believe the applicant’s records should 
be corrected as indicated below. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force 
relating to the APPLICANT, be corrected to show that Block 28 
(Narrative Reason for Separation) on his DD Form 214, Certificate 
of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued as a result of 
his entry-level separation on 25 June 2010, be amended by 
deleting the words “and conduct.”
