                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-01768

            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 military.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She was unjustly released from active  duty.   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.  She improved
on the 2nd exam but her acting chief had  something  personal  against
her and wanted her out of the Air Force.  She knew her job,  paperwork
and text but she had a hard time taking written tests.  If  she  could
have taken the test verbally, she would have passed.

In support of the applicant’s appeal, she submits a copy  of  DD  Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty.

Applicant’s complete submission, with an attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic  on
7 July 1987 for a term of 4 years.  The applicant was  discharged  for
unsatisfactory performance with service characterized as honorable  on
11 January 1989 in the grade of airman  first  class.   She  served  1
year, 6 months and 5 days of active service.

On 3 August 1988 and 12 October 1988, the applicant failed her End  of
Course Examinations.  The squadron section commander had  taken  steps
to assist the member in order to pass her CDC's.  She was  provided  a
trainer, was given a closed book VRE test prior to course exam retake,
and had passed it.  On 10 November 1988, the member was  removed  from
formal upgrade training due to her second failure of the course  exam.
On 5 December 1988, the applicant's commander notified  her  that  she
was being discharge for unsatisfactory duty performance with a  2C  RE
code.

_________________________________________________________________

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.  She has not filed a timely request.

AFPC/DPPRS 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 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 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 an  error  or  injustice.   We  took  notice  of  the
applicant's complete submission in judging the  merits  of  the  case,
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
offices of primary responsibility and adopt  their  rationale  as  the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice.  Other than her own assertions,  the  applicant
has provided no evidence  to  substantiate  her  contention  of  being
unjustly released from active duty.   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 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.

    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.
