AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-1994-00174
INDEX CODE: 110.02, 100.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her general discharge be upgraded, her reason for separation (Misconduct -
Pattern of Minor Disciplinary Infractions) and separation code be changed,
and her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2B be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant was discharged on 14 Jun 91, with a general (under honorable
conditions) discharge under the provisions of AFR 39-10 by reason of
“Misconduct - Pattern of Minor Disciplinary Infractions” and was issued a
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code 2B (involuntarily separated under AFR 39-
10, with a general or under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC)
discharge.). She was credited with 1 year, 6 months, and 3 days of active
duty.
On 1 November 1994, the Board considered the applicant’s request that her
reason for discharge and her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed
so that she may reenlist in the Air Force. After considering the evidence
provided, the Board determined it was insufficient to find error or
injustice and denied the application. 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
D.
On 31 Jan 02, the applicant request that her discharge be upgraded to
honorable was considered and denied by the Air Force Discharge Review Board
(AFDRB). They found that neither evidence of record, nor that provided by
the applicant, substantiated an inequity or impropriety which would justify
a change in the discharge (see AFDRB Hearing Record at Exhibit E).
In her most recent submission, she requests her discharge to be upgraded,
her reenlistment eligibility code be changed, her reason for separation and
separation code to be changed.
In support of her appeal, applicant provided copies of letters of character
reference from her pastor, co-worker and associates; certificate of
achievement and certificates of completion.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support
of the appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the applicant’s request to have
her discharge upgraded, her reason for separation and separation code
changed warrants the requested relief. In her most recent submissions, the
applicant asserts that her discharge was improper because command did not
follow regulations. That her discharge was too harsh based on today’s
standards. After careful consideration of the evidence of record and that
provided by the applicant, we found no evidence that the actions taken to
effect her discharge were improper or contrary to the provisions of the
governing regulations in effect at the time, or that the actions taken
against the applicant were based on factors other than her own misconduct.
The Board commends the applicant on her educational accomplishments since
leaving the service; however, we find no evidence of an error or an
injustice. Therefore, based on the available evidence of record, the
applicant’s request is not favorably considered.
In regards to the applicant’s request to change to her RE code 2B. At the
time a member is separated from the Air Force, he/she is furnished an RE
code predicated upon the quality of his/her service and the circumstances
surrounding the 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. Applicant’s RE code of 2B
accurately reflects that she was involuntarily separated under AFR 39-10,
with a general or under other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge.
After reviewing the evidence of record, and the documentation submitted in
support of the applicant’s appeal, we find no evidence that the assigned RE
Code is in error or unjust. In view of the foregoing, and 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.

With respect to the RE code of 2B that he received, we note that the Secretary of the Air Force has statutory authority to promulgate rules and regulations governing the administration of the Air Force.
