RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03219

						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 4C (Separated for 
concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet 
physical standard for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 
reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading 
Abilities Test, or void enlistments) be changed to allow reentry 
in the military.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was assured that she would be able to re-enlist with the 
code that she was given.  When she tried to re-enlist she was 
told that she couldn’t with her current RE code.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 
12 Nov 13.

On 23 Dec 13, the applicant’s commander notified her that he was 
recommending her for discharge for erroneous enlistment.  The 
reason for this action was a medical narrative summary, dated 
16 Dec 13, that found the applicant did not meet minimum medical 
standards to enlist; specifically, that the applicant had limb 
pain. 

On 23 Dec 13, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action 
and waived her rights to consult with legal counsel or submit 
statements on her own behalf.

On 31 Dec 13, the action was found to be legally sufficient and, 
on 6 Jan 14, the discharge authority concurred with the 
commander’s recommendation.

On 6 Jan 14, the applicant was furnished an entry level 
separation, with uncharacterized service, with a RE code of 4C.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request for an 
RE code that would make her eligible to reenlist.  The applicant 
was involuntarily discharged for Failed Medical/Physical 
Procurement Standards after serving 1 month and 25 days of 
service.  She received an erroneous RE code on her DD Form 214, 
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, of 4C.  
Her correct RE code is 2C (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) as required by AFI 36-2606, 
Reenlistments in the USAF, based on her entry level separation 
with uncharacterized service.  The RE code 2C is required based 
on the entry level separation with uncharacterized service and 
the applicant does not provide any evidence of an error or 
injustice to support a reenlistment eligible RE code.  Unless 
otherwise directed by the Board, AFPC/DPSOY will provide the 
applicant a corrected copy of her DD Form 214 with an RE code of 
2C.

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 17 Nov 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  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 injustice warranting 
correcting the applicant’s records to make her immediately 
eligible for reenlistment.  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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale 
as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the 
victim of an injustice with respect to her eligibility for 
enlistment.  We note the Air Force OPR has determined the 
applicant should have been issued an RE code of 2C in 
conjunction with her entry-level separation with uncharacterized 
service and will correct her records administratively.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting relief beyond that rendered 
administratively.


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.
