RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01890
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to one that would
allow her to enlist in the Army Reserves.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She failed the end of course (EOC) exam twice because she panicked in
the test room and also was experiencing personal problems. Those
problems have been resolved and she would like to have the opportunity
to serve her country.
In support of her request, applicant provided a personal statement, a
copy of her DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, a copy of a Notification of Memorandum - Administrative
Discharge Under AFI 36-3208.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 18 July 2001, for a
term of 4 years.
On 14 April 2003, she was notified of her commander’s intent to
recommend that she be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
(Unsatisfactory Performance) and received an honorable discharge. The
reason for this action was that she failed her career development
course (CDC) end-of-course test on 28 January 2003, and again on 19
March 2003. Additional derogatory information in her records, but not
considered in the administrative discharge, was a letter of reprimand
on 7 May 2002, for engaging in unprofessional conduct. She was
advised of her rights in this matter and acknowledged receipt of the
notification on that same date. She consulted with counsel and
submitted statements for consideration. In a legal review of the case
file, the base legal office found the case legally sufficient to
support discharge. The discharge authority approved the separation
and ordered an honorable discharge without probation and
rehabilitation. She was separated from the Air Force on 29 April
2003, with an honorable service characterization and received a RE
code of 2C ”Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or
entry level separation without characterization of service.” She
served two (2) year, two (2) months and twenty-nine (29) days on
active duty.
_____________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Based upon the documentation in the
file, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation. Additionally, the discharge
was within the discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant
did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge process. Additionally, she provided no
facts warranting a change in her discharge.
The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE indicates on 29 Apr 03, the applicant was involuntarily
separated from service with the character of service recorded as
“honorable.” The appropriate RE code for her involuntary discharge is
2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge, or entry
level separation without characterization of service.”
The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
18 Jul 03, for review and comment 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 an error or injustice to warrant changing the
applicant’s reenlistment eligibility (RE) code. We took notice of the
applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the case,
however; we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the Air
Force offices 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. 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.

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.
