AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

Qjsby  1 3  19% 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NO:  98-00676 
COUNSEL :  None 
HEARING DESIRED:  No 

Applicant  requests  his  reenlistment  eligibility  (RE)  code  2C 
(Involunarily  separated  under  AFR  39-10  with  an  honorable 
discharge or entry  level  separation without  characterization of 
service) be  changed  to  RE-1  which  would  allow him  to  join  the 
U.S. Navy.  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 
The appropriate Air  Force offices evaluated  applicant's  request 
and  provided  advisory  opinions  to  the  Board  recommending  the 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C).  The advisory opinions were 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response  (Exhibit D). 
As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient evidence  of 
error or injustice to warrant corrective action.  The facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinion appear to be based on the 
evidence  of  record  and  have  not  been  rebutted  by  applicant. 
Absent persuasive evidence applicant was denied  rights to which 
entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not  followed,  or 
appropriate  standards  were  not  applied,  we  find  no  basis  to 
disturb the existing record. 

Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 
The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 
Members  of  the  Board  Mr.  Vaughn  E.  Schlunz,  Mr.  Richard  A. 
Peterson, and Mr.  Patrick R. Wheeler considered this application 
on  29  September  1998  in  accordance with  the  provisions  of Air 
Force  Instruction 36-2603  and  the  governing  statute,  10 U.S.C. 
1552.

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  BCMR Medical Consultant 

1535 Command Drive, EE Wing, 3rd Floor 
Andrews AFB MD  20762-7002 

SUBJECT:  Application for Correction of Military Records 

Applicant’s entire case file has been reviewed and is forwarded with the following findings, 

conclusions and recommendations. 

REQUESTED ACTION:  The applicant requests a change in his reenlistment code from 2C 

to RE-I to allow him to enter the Navy. 

FACTS:  The applicant received an entry level separation for fraudulent enlistment on 14 
August 1991, which reason was later changed to Erroneous Enlistment on appeal to the Air 
Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB) on 14 February 1992.  The separation came about 
because of the applicant’s failure to complete basic training requirements at which time his past 
history of treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder was revealed.  Although 
treatment had apparently stopped some 3 years before the applicant came on active duty, his 
examining psychiatrist at Lackland AFB felt his failure to integrate into the military role likely 
was a residual effect of this disorder. 

DISCUSSION:  Although the AFDRB concluded that there was no fraud involved in the 
applicant’s entry to the Air Force (with an appropriate separation program designator code 
change being made),  the reenlistment code was proper for the entry level uncharacterized 
service rendered, and cannot be changed as the applicant requests.  The fact remains that he 
was separated within the first 6 months of entry, a situation calling for such a reentry code 
under directives that implement the law. 

RECOMMENDATION:  The BCMR Medical  Consultant is of the opinion that no change in 

the records is warranted and the application should be denied.

We conducted a review of applicant’s case file.  The Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) Code 

“2C” is correct.  The type of discharge drove assignment of the RE code.
