RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-02492
INDEX CODE: 112.10
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from 2C (involuntary
separation with honorable discharge) to either 1 or 3C (first-term airman
not yet considered under selective reenlistment program) to enable him to
re-enter the USAF.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Since he did not go through basic training, he was not in the military long
enough to earn a characterized discharge. He should not have been given an
RE Code of 2C which causes a waiting period before he reenlists.
The applicant provided no evidence in support of his appeal. The
applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 17 April 2002, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force at the
age of 19 in the grade of airman basic for a period of six years. He was
guaranteed a job in Security Forces.
On 22 April 2002, the applicant sought medical attention after experiencing
difficulty breathing and a possible anxiety attack while participating in
physical conditioning. It was discovered during his medical evaluation that
the applicant had a history of psychiatric treatment for depression,
anxiety, oppositional behavior and most recently, bipolar disorder. When
questioned about not identifying his medical history on his application
into the military, he stated his recruiter told him not to put it down on
his application and to mention it during his entrance physical. The
applicant claimed the MEPS liaison told him, “not to worry about it.” On
23 April 2002, the attending Staff Psychologist recommended the applicant
be discharged based on his current difficulties as well as his extensive
psychiatric history of similar difficulties.
On 15 May 2002, the applicant’s commander recommended the applicant’s
discharge for defective enlistment. The applicant acknowledged receipt of
the recommendation and waived his option to consult legal counsel and
submit statements in his behalf. On 17 May 2002, the recommendation was
found to be legally sufficient by the Assistant Judge Advocate and approved
by the discharge authority under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-
3208, Chapter 5, Section 5c, Defective Enlistments, Paragraph 5.15, because
of Fraudulent Entry. The applicant was discharged effective 21 May 2002
with an uncharacterized entry-level separation with a separation code JDA
(fraudulent entry into military service) and a reentry code of 2C (entry
level separation without characterization of service). He had served 1
month and 5 days on active duty but received no credit for this service
based on the reason for his separation.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE reviewed the applicant’s case file and concludes that the RE
code of 2C is correct. The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPRS reviewed the applicant’s case file and concurs that the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements
of the discharge regulation. The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 25
October 2002 for review and response. As of this date, this office has
received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
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 probable error or injustice. The applicant did not provide
persuasive evidence showing the information in the discharge case was
erroneous, his substantial rights were violated, or that his commanders
abused their discretionary authority. The RE code which was issued at the
time of the applicant’s separation accurately reflects the circumstances of
his separation and we do not find this code to be in error or unjust. In
view of the foregoing, we conclude that no basis exists upon which to
recommend favorable action on his request that it be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
