RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-02260
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code 2C be changed to one that will
permit him the option of reenlisting.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He received misleading information at separation signing. He was
unfairly given an RE 2C due to downsizing of military force at the
time of his discharge. He wishes to enlist in the Navy.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was discharged with an uncharacterized discharge on 17
April 1995 because of a fraudulent entry into military service. The
basis for the discharge was that the applicant intentionally concealed
a prior service medical condition. At the time of his separation, in
the grade of airman basic, he had served 25 days of active duty which
was not credited due his fraudulent entry into military service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted
from the applicant's military records, are contained in the letter
prepared by the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS stated that the applicant did not submit any new evidence
or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in discharge
processing. He has requested a change in his reenlistment code only.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached 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.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 12 Oct 01, for review and response within 30 days. 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. After reviewing the
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation from the Air
Force, we believe that the RE code in question is unjust. In this
regard, we note that the applicant was separated because he apparently
concealed the severity of prior service medical conditions. While
this may be correct, we note that the applicant’s report of medical
examination lists his prior foot condition which we believe should
have prompted further medical review by the examining MEPS physician.
The applicant’s non-cardiac chest pain may not have manifested itself
during the MEPS exam, however, the severity of his foot condition
might have been revealed and he would not have been qualified for
enlistment. However, we note his apparent desire to serve in the
Armed Forces and we do not believe he should be denied the opportunity
to apply for reenlistment if he so chooses. 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 any branch of the service. Indeed, any branch of the armed forces
will have access to his records to determine his physical condition.
Therefore, we recommend that his record be corrected to show he was
issued an RE code of “3K” (Reserve for use by HQ AFPC and the AFBCMR)
at the time of separation.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that, in conjunction with
his entry level separation on 17 April 1995, he was issued a
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “3K,” rather than “2C.”
