RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01765
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow his enlistment
into the armed forces.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The RE code he received upon his discharge is unfairly preventing him from
serving his country.
The discharge he received was not based on any individual action or
incident, but rather as a collective whole of his time of service.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force on 7 March
1992. He was progressively promoted to the grade of airman first class.
On 24 May 1993, he received notification that he was being recommended for
discharge for unsatisfactory duty performance (i.e., derelict in the
performance of his duty by failing to update his training records and the
training records of his trainees, failed to maintain proper standards of
hygiene, failed to timely complete a copies report, failed to return his
supervisor’s phone call, failed to ensure that a Pacer Ware message was
distributed, failed to obey a lawful order by authorizing a subordinate to
report for duty two hours late, and committed adultery), as evidenced by 5
Letters of Counseling (LOCs), a Letter of Reprimand (LOR), and an Article
15. . He received a general discharge on 15 June 1993, under the
provisions of AFR 39-10 (Unsatisfactory Performance). He had completed a
total of 6 years, 3 months and 10 days and was serving in the grade of
airman first class (E-3) at the time of discharge. He received an RE Code
of “2B”, which defined means "Separated with a general or under other than
honorable conditions."
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied and states, in part, that
the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant has provided no facts warranting an
upgrade of his discharge.
The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE states, in part, that the RE code of “2B” assigned to the
applicant is correct. Waivers of RE codes for enlistment are considered
and approved based on the needs of the respective military service and
recruiting initiatives at the time of the enlistment inquiry.
The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT’S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 18 July 2003 for review and response within 30 days. However,
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 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 error or injustice. The applicant has provided no evidence
showing that his assigned RE code is in error or contrary to the prevailing
instruction. It is clear that the decision to separate him was proper
based on his situation at the time. The RE code which was issued at the
time of his discharge accurately reflects the circumstances of his
separation, i.e., separated with a general or under other than honorable
conditions discharge. Accordingly, we do not find this code to be in error
or unjust. We therefore 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.

He was subsequently discharged from the AF with an entry-level separation and service characterization of uncharacterized, as he had not served for 180 days at the time of discharge. Additionally, he provided no facts warranting a change in his discharge. Consequently, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office 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.
