RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-01450
INDEX NUMBER: 100.03; 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
The narrative reason for his separation, and his reenlistment
eligibility (RE) code of 2C be changed to allow him to enlist in
the Air National Guard (ANG) or Air Force Reserve.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The reasons the applicant believes the records to be in error or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support of the appeal are at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant’s military records, are contained in the letters
prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air Force. Accordingly,
there is no need to recite these facts in this Record of
Proceedings.
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
The BCMR Medical Consultant recommended denial, noting that the
records detail the problems reported by the applicant in adjusting
to military life and appear quite clear in defining his
unsuitability for continued military service. The Mental Health
evaluation was signed by the applicant indicating his acceptance of
its contents. The problems enumerated by the applicant in
adjusting to the military environment would appear sufficient to
preclude further efforts on his part to seek service in the Reserve
or ANG. The Medical Consultant’s complete evaluation is at
Exhibit C.
The Separations Branch, AFPC/DPPRS, concurred with the BCMR Medical
Consultant’s recommendation that the applicant’s narrative reason
for separation and separation code remain unchanged. The applicant
provides no evidence to dispute the diagnosis of his having a
condition so severe that his ability to function effectively in the
military environment was significantly impaired. The complete
evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit D.
The Special Programs and AFBCMR Manager, AFPC/DPPAES, stated that,
based on the type of separation the applicant received, the RE code
is correct. Their evaluation is at Exhibit E.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant
on 25 August 2000, for review and response within 30 days
(Exhibit F). 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice warranting partial
relief. We do not find persuasive evidence that pertinent
regulations were violated or that the applicant was not afforded
all the rights to which he was entitled. Considered alone, we
conclude that the discharge proceedings were proper and the RE code
was appropriate to the existing circumstances. However,
consideration of this Board is not limited to the events which
precipitated the discharge and ensuing RE code. We have a
Congressional mandate which permits consideration of other factors.
In this instance, we note that the applicant was young and
apparently immature and, after an exhaustive review of the record,
we have uncovered no acts of misconduct. Moreover, it appears
that, except for his adjustment problems, he was an excellent
airman. In view of this, we believe the applicant’s existing RE
code is somewhat harsh. Therefore, although we do not believe that
a change to the reason for his separation is warranted, we do
believe he should be afforded the opportunity to apply for a waiver
to enlist in the Air Force Reserve or ANG. Whether or not he is
successful in pursuing a military career will depend on the needs
of the Guard and Reserve and our recommendation in no way
guarantees that he will be accepted by either. In view of the
foregoing, we recommend his records be corrected to the extent
indicated below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his reenlistment
eligibility (RE) code, issued in conjunction with his entry level
separation on 29 June 1999, was 3K.
The following members of the Board considered this application in
Executive Session on 5 October 2000, under the provisions of AFI 36-
2603:
Mr. Gregory H. Petkoff, Panel Chair
Mr. Steven A. Shaw, Member
