IN THE MATTER OF:
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
JUL 2 4 8%
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
DOCKET NO: 98-00678
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
Applicant requests that his separation and reenlistment eligibility (RE) codes be
changed to allow eligibility to enlist in the Air Force Reserve or the Air National
Guard. The applicant’s RE code of 2C is defined as “Involuntarily separated under
AFR 39-10 with a n honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service.” 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 opinions 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 applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not been shown that a
personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to our
understanding of the issue(s) involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not
favorably considered.
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. David W. Mulgrew, Mr. Joseph G. Diamond, and
Mr. Terry A. Yonkers considered this application on 21 July 1998 in accordance
with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603, and the governing statute, 10,
U.S.C. 1552.

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was discharged &om the Air
Force 24 Mar 83 under the provisions of AFR 39- 10 (Entry Level Performance and Conduct)
with an uncharacterized discharge. He served 03 months and 15 days total active service.
Requested Action, The applicant is requesting a change in his separation and reentry codes
which would allow him to reenlist in the Air Force reserves.
Basis for Request. Applicant states he was not given proper counseling at the time of his
discharge to the consequences of his reentry code. The advisory &om AFPCDPPAES provides
information concerning the assignment of his reentry code. This advisory will address the
separation processing in the case.
Facts. The applicant was notified by his commander on 18 Mar 83 that discharge action had
been initiated against him for his failure to make satisfactory progress in a required training
program. The commander indicated that if his recommendation was approved, his discharge
would be described as an entry level separation. Applicant’s academic counseling record indicates
he had a second course failure, block Il with 46% and 70% was the minimum passing score. The
record also indicated the applicant was not really interested in his career field and can’t study and
was recommended for withdrawal from training and discharge. He was advised that military
counsel had been obtain to assist him and that he had a right to submit statements in his own
behalf. Applicant did submit a statement in his own behalf where he indicate for the third time he
had changed his mind and requested that he be reclassified and allowed to remain in the service.
On 24 Mar 83, the discharge authority reviewed the case and directed that he be discharged with
an entry level separation.
Discussion. This case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or
irregularities causing an injustice to the member. The discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the discretion
of the discharge authority and that the applicant was provided 111 administrative due process.
The records indicate member’s military service was reviewed and appropriate counseling was
provided and appropriate action was taken.
Recommendation. Applicant did not submit evidence or identi@ specific errors in the discharge
processing nor provide facts which warrant a change in the separation code he received.
Accordingly, we recommend applicant’s request be denied. He has not filed a timely request.
