RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 92-02647
INDEX CODE 110.02
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he asks that his
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily discharged with an
honorable characterization or entry-level separation with no
characterization of service), issued in conjunction with his 1992 entry
level discharge, be changed to 3K (Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the
AFBCMR when no other RE code applies or is appropriate) so that he may
apply for a waiver to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 31 Jan 92. The applicant
subsequently received three Letters of Reprimand (LORs) for exceeding the
speed limit on K. I. Sawyer AFB and driving without insurance on 7 Jun 92,
operating a vehicle on state highways on 13-14 Jun 92 without insurance
after being questioned whether he had insured his vehicle, and failing to
go to his assigned duty section on 15 Jun 92. He also had his driving
privileges revoked for one year. The applicant was notified of his
commander’s intent to recommend discharge without probation and
rehabilitation. On 6 Jul 92, after five months and six days of active
service, he was discharged with an entry-level separation without
characterization of service. He was issued an RE code of 2C (see above for
definition).
On 16 Sep 92, the applicant appealed for an RE code that would allow
reenlistment. However, on 12 Apr 93, the Board denied his appeal. For an
accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s
separation, and, the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see
the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit E.
On 30 Jan 03, the applicant submitted a request for reconsideration,
requesting that he be awarded a waiverable code such as 3K (see above for
definition) so that he may obtain a waiver for reenlistment. He contends he
could not afford insurance at the time. He regrets his decision to leave
the Air Force. He wants a chance to fulfill his obligation and serve his
country in the Air Force Reserves. He provides three character references.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an injustice to warrant changing the applicant’s RE code to
“3K.” The “2C” RE code the applicant received is correct because he was
involuntarily discharged with an entry-level separation. This was driven by
his three LORs. However, after considering the statements from the three
former military members attesting to the applicant’s character and
motivation, a majority of the Board is persuaded that, based upon his
apparent successful transition to civilian life as evidenced by his post-
service work record, he should be afforded the opportunity to apply for a
waiver to reenlist in the armed services. In other words, an RE code from
the “3” series would permit him to apply for enlistment and, should he have
the desirable skills and is otherwise acceptable, the reserves may elect to
waive his ineligibility and allow him to reenlist. Whether or not he is
successful will depend on the needs of the service and the majority’s
recommendation in no way guarantees that he will be allowed to reenter the
armed services. Therefore, the majority recommends his reenlistment code be
changed to “3K.”
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that, in conjunction with his entry-
level separation on 6 July 1992, he was issued a reenlistment eligibility
code of “3K,” rather than “2C.”

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.
