RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00578
INDEX CODE: 110.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her entry-level separation be upgraded to an honorable discharge and
her reenlistment (RE) code changed to allow her the opportunity to
reenter the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time she entered the Air Force Reserve, she was not as mature
as she is now and would like another opportunity to be part of the Air
Force and serve her country.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, 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 letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS states Air Force policy is that entry-level
separations/uncharacterized service characterizations are given to
service members who have not completed more than 180 days of
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DOD) determined
if a service member served less than 180 days of active service, that
it would be unfair to the member to characterize that service. The
applicant served 2 months and 3 days of service. The applicant's
discharge was processed in accordance with DOD and Air Force
procedural and substantive requirements. Therefore, based on the
evidence provided they recommend denying the requested relief.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE states the applicant received the appropriate RE code of
"2C" which reflects that she received an involuntary separation with
an honorable discharge, or entry-level separation without service
characterization (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
17 May 2002, for review and response. 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. After careful
consideration of the circumstances of this case and the evidence
provided by the applicant, we are not persuaded that the applicant's
discharge and the reenlistment code she received was in error or
unjust. The Board notes the discharge and RE code "2C" that the
applicant received indicates an uncharacterized entry-level separation
for serving less than 6 months of service which would be appropriate
considering that the applicant served 2 months and 3 days of active
military service. While the applicant’s contentions are duly noted,
we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force and
adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not established that she has been the victim of an error
or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,
we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in
this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

Since this condition is unsuiting for military service, the applicant underwent entry level separation. The BCMR Medical Consultant evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that even though the applicant was on active duty after 180 days of continuous active service, the process of his discharge began before that point in time. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that...
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. 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...
