RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00426
INDEX CODE: 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C be changed to allow
eligibility to reenter the 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.
In support of her request, the applicant submits copies of her DD Form
214, AF Form 100 and DD Form 293. The applicant’s complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant contracted her enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 2 Nov
00 for a period of 4 years. On 1 Feb 01, the applicant received
notification that she was being recommended for discharge for entry
level performance and conduct. The reason for this action was the
applicant’s failure to make satisfactory progress in a required
training program. She received an uncharacterized entry-level
separation on 13 Feb 01 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (entry-
level performance and conduct). She had completed a total of 3 months
and 12 days and was serving in the grade of airman basic (E-1) at the
time of separation. She received an RE Code of 2C, which defined
means "Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-
level separation without characterization of service."
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS stated that, based upon the documentation in the file,
the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation. DPPRS indicated that airmen
are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous active service. The applicant’s uncharacterized character
of service is correct and in accordance with Department of Defense and
Air Force instructions. An entry-level/uncharacterized separation
should not be viewed as negative and should not be confused with other
types of separation. The HQ AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPPAE stated that the applicant’s RE code of 2C is correct.
The HQ AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant on 21
June 2002 for review and response. As of this date, no response has
been received by this office (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice concerning the applicant’s RE
code. The applicant has provided no evidence showing that her
assigned RE code is in error or contrary to the prevailing
instruction. The RE code which was issued at the time of applicant’s
separation accurately reflects the circumstances of her separation and
we do not find this code to be in error or unjust. We, therefore,
conclude that no basis exists upon which to recommend favorable action
on her request that it be changed.
4. Notwithstanding the above, we find the narrative reason for the
applicant’s entry level separation; i.e., entry level performance and
conduct, to be overly harsh. In our deliberations of this case, it
appeared to us that the word “conduct” could be misconstrued to infer
that her separation for academic deficiency was also due to
misconduct. While the applicant may have had problems progressing in
the required technical training course, we have seen no evidence of
misconduct. Therefore, in order to correct an injustice of improperly
labeling the applicant, her narrative reason for separation should be
corrected to accurately reflect the circumstances of her separation.
In view of the foregoing, we recommend the applicant’s records be
corrected by deleting the words “and conduct” from her narrative
reason for separation.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected by deleting the words “and conduct”
from Block 28 (Narrative Reason for Separation) on her DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued on 13
February 2001.
