STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 29 Mar 11. 

 

On 17 Oct 11, the applicant was notified by his commander of his 
intent to recommend his discharge from the Air Force for 
unsatisfactory duty performance. The specific reason for the 
action was that he failed to make satisfactory progress in the 
UH-60 Helicopter Repairer course. 

 

On 17 Oct 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action 
and elected not to submit a statement in his behalf. 

 

On 1 Nov 11, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge 
for unsatisfactory duty performance, issued an RE code of 2C, 
and was credited with seven months and three days of total 
active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant was eliminated from the 
UH-60 Helicopter Repairer (ITRO) course for failing the Block 4, 
Unit 4 test, with a score of 67 percent and twice failing the 
Block 7, Unit 2 test, with scores of 70 and 43 percent, 
respectively. His discharge record reflects he was counseled 
and afforded an opportunity to overcome his academic 
deficiencies. The contested code is required in accordance with 
AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, based on his involuntary 
honorable discharge. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 3 Aug 12 for review and comment within 30 days. As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit D). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 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 the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
