RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04590 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her reentry (RE) code of 2C (entry-level separation with 
uncharacterized service or involuntary honorable discharge) be 
changed so that she can be eligible to rejoin the military. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Her RE code is incorrect because she did not commit any uniform 
code of military justice (UCMJ) violations. She should be given 
the opportunity to return to military service because there are 
no negative reports in her records. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant commenced her service in the Regular Air Force on 
27 April 2010. 

 

On 4 November 2010, the applicant’s commander notified her that 
he was recommending her discharge from the Air Force for 
unsatisfactory duty performance. Specifically, her failure to 
progress in military training required to be qualified for 
service. The reasons for the action included five block test 
failures during technical training and her weapons qualification 
failure. 

 

On 4 November 2010, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the 
action. 

 

On 5 November 2010, the applicant consulted with legal counsel, 
and waived her right to submit statements in her own behalf. 

 

On 17 November 2010, the case was found legally sufficient and, 
on 17 November 2010, the discharge authority directed the 


applicant be furnished an honorable discharge, without probation 
and rehabilitation. 

 

On 22 November 2010, the applicant was honorably discharged and 
issued an RE code of 2C and narrative reason for separation of 
“Unsatisfactory Performance.” She was credited with 6 months 
and 26 days of total active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. Based on the applicant’s involuntary 
discharge with honorable character of service, the RE code 2C is 
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF. The 
applicant believes that the only way to receive a RE Code 2C is 
to commit an UCMJ violations or receive a negative report; 
however, her assertion is inaccurate. 

 

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 26 November 2012 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 the 
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice. The 
Reentry (RE) code of “2C” issued in conjunction with the 
applicant’s honorable discharge was appropriate to the 


circumstances and required in accordance with the governing 
instruction. 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.
