AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-00798
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Applicant requests the reenlistment eligibility code (RE) 2C be
changed to allow him to continue his military career.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His failure to complete his Career Development Course Test should not
be a reason to prohibit him from serving his country.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached 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 EVALUATION:
The Assistant NCOIC, Separation Procedures Section, AFPC/DPPRS,
reviewed the applicant’s application and stated based upon the
documentation in the file, they we believe the discharge was
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the
discharge regulation. However, we recommended that the member be
allowed to reenlist if the RE code is changed.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
The Special Programs and AFBCMR Manager, AFPC/DPPAES, reviewed the
applicant’s request and stated that the Reenlistment Code 2C,
“Involuntarily separated with an honor discharge; or entry level
separation with characterization of service,” is correct. However, if
the decision is to grant the relief sought, applicant’s record should
be corrected to reflect RE code as 3K. The use of this code by HQ
AFPC or the Air Force Board of Correction of Military Records when no
other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is appropriate.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation were forwarded to the
applicant on 11 May 2001, for review and response within 30 days.
However, 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. It appears that
responsible officials applied appropriate standards in effecting the
applicant’s separation, and we do not find persuasive evidence that
pertinent regulations were violated or that the applicant was not
afforded all the rights to which entitled at the time of discharge.
We note that the reason for separation was that the applicant failed
his Career Development Course (CDC) test that would have allowed him
to obtain his required skill level. However, after reviewing the
applicant’s records and noting his contentions, we believe the
narrative reason for separation and his current RE code are somewhat
harsh. In this respect, the RE code does not allow him to pursue his
desire to continue his military career. Therefore, in view of his
overall service, we recommend his records be corrected as indicated
below. Whether or not he is successful will depend on the needs of
the service and our recommendation in no way guarantees that he will
be allowed to return to the Air Force or any branch of service; this
will simply afford him the opportunity to apply for a waiver to enlist
in the armed services.

She served 2 years, 2 months and 13 days of active service. The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE stated that the Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service” is correct. However, after reviewing the applicant’s records, the Board believes the narrative reason for separation and her current RE code are somewhat harsh.
However, her uncharacterized discharge should not be changed as it reflects her separation before completing a period of service (i.e., 180-days of continuous active service) that would allow an honorable characterization. In addition, AFPC/DPPRS recommends changing the applicant’s separation code and narrative reason for separation to “JFF - Secretarial Authority.” AFPC/DPPRS states that the applicant’s discharge was in error and she should have been discharged under AFI 36-3208, paragraph...
