RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:		DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2013-05652

 				COUNSEL: NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

His reentry (RE) code 2C (involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to 1J.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He failed to meet the new fitness standards when they were first 
introduced.  He also lacked knowledge of correct nutrition and 
dieting.  He accepted the option to separate early; however, he 
wanted to join the Reserves or Air National Guard.  He has no 
history of injury or medical condition.  He is capable of 
serving again but he was told by a recruiter that his RE code 
will not suffice.  

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant is a former member of the Air Force who served 
from 9 July 2002 through 21 June 2011.  His narrative reason for 
separation was listed as Physical Standards and his RE code is 
listed as 2C.  He was credited with 8 years, 11 months and 
13 days of active duty service.

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  The applicant was involuntarily 
discharged on 21 June 2011.  RE code 2C was based on his 
involuntary discharge with honorable service characterization.  

The applicant does not provide proof of an error or injustice 
with regard to his RE code.  The RE code 2C is correct as 
listed.

The complete 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 8 September 2014, for review and comment within 
30 days (Exhibit D).  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 are not persuaded by the evidence 
submitted in his appeal that a change in his RE code is 
warranted.  We note that RE code 2C may be waived by recruiting 
services and find it more appropriate for the applicant to seek 
a waiver than to disturb the existing record.  Therefore, in the 
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought.

________________________________________________________________

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.
