IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01047
INDEX CODE: 110.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: Not Indicated
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow her to
reenlist in the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 Sep 98 for a
period of four years as an airman basic.
The applicant on 3 Mar 00, failed her end of course Career Development
Course (CDC) examination. On 8 Aug 00, the applicant again failed her
CDC examination.
The applicant received an Article 15 on 4 Aug 00, for failure to
report to duty. Her punishment consisted of forfeiture of pay and 14
days extra duty. The forfeiture of pay was suspended until 3 Feb 01,
at which time it was remitted without further action unless sooner
vacated.
On 4 Jan 01, the applicant's commander notified her that he was
recommending her for discharge due to unsatisfactory performance. She
was discharged on 30 Jan 01, with an honorable discharge. She served
2 years, 4 months and 15 days of service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS states there was limited documentation in the applicant's
case file regarding her separation, however, DPPRS
believes the applicant's discharge was consistent with procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation; and the
discharge was within the sound discretion of the discharge authority.
Based on the information provided, they recommend denying the
applicant's request.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE states the RE code the applicant received is the
appropriate code for those members separated "involuntarily with an
honorable discharge or an entry level separation without
characterization of service (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
24 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After careful consideration of
the circumstances of this case and the evidence provided by the
applicant, we are not persuaded her request to have the RE code
changed is warranted. In this respect, the applicant was
involuntarily separated and she apparently received the appropriate RE
code affiliated with her involuntary separation. Applicant’s
contentions are duly noted; however, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their rationale as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not 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.

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.
The commander was recommending that applicant receive an honorable discharge. In an effort to study and pass the second final testing, he and his trainer reviewed the CDC course material. A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

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...

At the time she was released, she took her end of course exams twice and failed both times due to working 12 hour days and suffering a miscarriage.

On 7 Jun 94, she elected to accept separation from the Air Force in lieu of a waiver of discharge processing. They recommended against changing the RE code as there is no error in the applicant’s records. A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit D. HQ AFPC/DPPAT advises that DOD records indicate the applicant accepted MGIB enrollment on 12 Mar 93.
