RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-01348
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from “2C” to “4G" so that
he may enlist in the Navy.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His records will show that RE code of “4G" is more appropriate. In support
of his request applicant provided a letter from his Senator. His complete
submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force, in the grade of airman basic
(E-1) on 28 Feb 96. He was progressively promoted to the grade of senior
airman (E-4), having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank
of 28 Feb 99.
On 17 Aug 99, applicant was notified by his commander of her intent to
recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of
AFPD 36-21 and AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, paragraph 5.26.3. The specific
reason for this action was his failure to progress in his on-the-job
training (OJT). He was advised of his rights in this matter and
acknowledged receipt of the notification on that same date. After
consulting counsel, he submitted a written presentation to his commander.
On 30 Aug 99, the separation authority, after considering all the facts of
the case, directed that he be discharged without probation and
rehabilitation. He was discharged on 8 Sep 99 after serving 3 years, 6
months, and 11 days on active duty. He was furnished an Honorable
Discharge certificate.
The following is a resume of his Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) profile.
PERIOD ENDING OVERALL RECOMMENDATION
27 Oct 97 4
20 Jun 98 4
18 Nov 98 4
04 Aug 99 2 - Referral report
Examiner’s note: RE code “2C” denotes “Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge...”
RE code “4G" denotes “No AFSC skill level commensurate with grade.”
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Personnel Programs and Procedures Manager, AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed
applicant’s request and recommends denial. DPPAE states that the reason
for his discharge was failing twice to meet the minimum passing score on
his Career Development Course (CDC). There is no evidence of error or
injustice and the type of discharge (involuntary) drove the RE code (see
Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 27 Apr
01 for review and response within 30 days. 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable injustice. While the RE code assigned to the
applicant, at the time was technically correct and in accordance with the
applicable instructions, we believe it would be an injustice for him to
continue to suffer its effects in the way of enlistment opportunities in
the armed forces. It appears that his failure to progress in his on-the-
job training was affected in part by his lack of motivation which was
predicated by his involuntary retraining due to a medical condition, which
we note no longer exists. We note also that he wishes to enlist in the
Navy and, in view of the totality of the circumstances present in this
case, we believe that he should be given the opportunity to apply for
enlistment. Therefore, the reason for his separation should be changed to
Secretarial Authority and his RE code of 2C should be changed to 3K, a code
that can be waived for prior service enlistment consideration.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 8 September 1999, he was
separated under the provisions of AFR 36-3208, paragraph 1.2 (Secretarial
Authority) with a separation code of JFF and a reenlistment eligibility
(RE) code of 3K.
