RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01019
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) code of 2C which denotes “Involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation 
without characterization of service” be changed to allow him to 
enlist into the Air National Guard (ANG).

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was discharged from technical training and was not given a 
chance to reclass into a different career field. 

He did not receive any non-judicial punishment during his time 
in service.

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty.

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 26 Jul 11, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force 
for a period of six years.

On 21 Feb 12, the applicant was notified by his squadron 
commander that she was recommending his discharge from the Air 
Force for academic failure (not making satisfactory progress in 
a required training program).  Specifically, he failed to 
progress in the Basic Medical Technician training program.  
During training, he failed three unit exams within the Emergency 
Medical Technician (EMT) block of training and was disenrolled 
from technical training school on 14 Feb 12.  Prior to 
disenrollment, he received 1.5 hours of one-on-one and special 
individual assistance and counseling on three occasions.  

The applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of 
discharge and after consulting with legal counsel, submitted a 
statement in his own behalf.  

The base legal office found the case legally sufficient to 
support the separation, and on 1 Mar 12, the discharge authority 
approved the discharge.

On 7 Mar 12, the applicant was honorably discharged, by reason 
of Unsatisfactory Performance, and was issued an RE code of 2C.  
He served on active duty for a period of 7 months and 12 days.  

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states that the applicant’s 
RE code (2C) is correct based on his involuntary discharge with 
an honorable character of service.  The applicant provides no 
evidence of an error or injustice with regard to his RE code.

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 6 Apr 13, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
the applicant 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 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 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.
