RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01435
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from 2C to 1J so
that she may reenlist in the Navy.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The unsatisfactory performance is not why she was discharged. She was
discharged for failure to complete tech school. She was put in an
extremely difficult school with a high failure rate (Air Traffic
Control and Computers).
In support of the applicant’s appeal, she submits a copy of DD Form
293, Application for the Review of Discharge or Dismissal from the
Armed Forces of the United States, and DD Form 214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
12 February 1997 for a term of 4 years. The applicant was discharged
for unsatisfactory performance with service characterized as honorable
on 12 September 1997 in the grade of airman. She served 7 months and
1 day of total active service.
On 28 Jul 97, the applicant failed Block I of her technical training
with a score of 62%, for which she received counseling; on 18 Aug 97,
she failed Block II with a score of 68% and was also counseled. The
minimal passing score was 70%. On 10 Sep 97, the applicant's
commander notified her that she was being discharge for unsatisfactory
duty performance with a RE code of 2C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. The applicant did not submit any new
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing. She provided no other facts warranting a change
in her discharge. Failure in mandatory training is considered
unsatisfactory performance. She has not filed a timely request.
AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE stated the applicant's Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code
of 2C, Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without characterization of service" is correct.
AFPC/DPPAE complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 16 Aug 02, for review and comment 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. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record and the applicant’s submission, we are not
persuaded that relief is warranted. . In view of the circumstances
surrounding her discharge from Air Force, we are not persuaded that
she has been the victim of either an error or injustice. At the time
a member is separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE
code predicated upon the quality of their service and the
circumstances of their separation. The assigned code reflects the Air
Force's position regarding whether or not, or under what
circumstances, the individual should be allowed to reenlist. The
evidence of records supports the stated reasons for the applicant's
separation for the Air Force and we are not persuaded by the evidence
provided that the assigned RE code is in error or unjust. In the
absence of such evidence we find no basis for an upgrade of the RE
code. The action taken by his commander appears to have been within
his discretionary authority and applicant was afforded due process.
Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, we find no basis
upon which to favorably consider this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable 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.

He was separated from the Air Force on 15 July 2002. However, after reviewing the applicant’s request and the evidence of record, we find the narrative reason for his entry- level separation; i.e., entry-level performance and conduct, to be overly harsh.
