IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-00910
            INDEX CODE:  112.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to an RE-1.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She struggled in tech school.  She did not choose  to  be  a  security
forces member.

Applicant did not submit any documents in support the appeal.

Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the  Regular  Air  Force  on  5  February  2002.
Enlistment documents reveal that  she  was  guaranteed  classification
into an Air Force Specialty (AFS) in the General Aptitude Area without
a promise of a specific specialty.

Following her successful completion of basic military training,  on  6
May 2002, the applicant was assigned to duties as  a  Security  Forces
trainee.  On 30 May 2002, she was disenrolled  from  training  due  to
academic deficiency over which it was determined she had control.   It
was reported that she failed to achieve a passing score on the  second
written test two times and that the applicant lacked  the  desire  and
aptitude to successfully complete the training or to have a successful
Air Force career.

On 13 June 2002, discharge  proceedings  were  initiated  against  the
applicant under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 and  AFPD  36-32  (Entry
Level Performance and Conduct).  The  applicant  was  advised  of  her
rights and waived her rights to consult counsel and submit  statements
in her own behalf.  The file was reviewed and found legally sufficient
by an assistant staff judge advocate.  On 17 June 2002, the  discharge
authority approved the recommended separation and  directed  that  the
applicant be given an Entry Level Separation.

On 21 June 2002, while serving in  the  grade  of  airman  basic,  the
applicant was separated from the Air Force under the provisions of AFI
36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (Entry-Level  Performance
and Conduct) and received an uncharacterized  entry-level  separation.
She was assigned a reenlistment eligibility  (RE)  code  of  2C.   She
served 4 months and 17 days of total active service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS states that they believe the discharge was consistent  with
the  procedural  and  substantive  requirements   of   the   discharge
regulation at that time.  Additionally, the discharge was  within  the
sound discretion of the discharge authority.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE states that the reenlistment eligibility (RE) code  of  2C,
“Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or  entry  level
separation without characterization of service” is correct.

A complete copy of their evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 4 June 2003, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded  to
the applicant for review and response within  30  days.   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  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
and adopt their rationale as the basis for  the  conclusion  that  the
applicant  has  not  been  the  victim  of  an  error  or   injustice.
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 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.
