RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01942
INDEX CODE: 100.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code 2C (Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to a better code.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He does not know if the RE code 2C is unjust, but would like it to
be reconsidered in order that he may rejoin the military. He
cannot join the Air Force again because of the code 2C, and another
branch requires a two-year wait.
In support of his appeal, applicant submitted a copy of his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 May 02 for a
period of four years.
On 7 Nov 02, the squadron commander initiated administrative
discharge action against the applicant for unsatisfactory
performance or conduct; specifically, unsatisfactory duty
performance.
The reasons for the proposed action were that on 23 Aug 02 and
4 Sep 02, applicant failed to make satisfactory progress in a
required technical training program. The applicant was eliminated
from the Supply Management Apprentice training course for academic
deficiency after failing the written Test 1, Version A, course
examination twice with scores of 69% on both exams--minimum passing
was 70%. On 10 Sep 02, he failed the written Test 3, Version B,
with a score of 63%--minimum passing was 72%. Prior to
disenrollment, applicant was counseled concerning his performance
and received individualized assistance with negative results.
The commander recommended that the applicant be given an honorable
discharge. On that same date, applicant acknowledged receipt of
the discharge notification. He waived his right to consult counsel
and to submit statements in his own behalf. On 14 Nov 02, the
staff judge advocate found the case to be legally sufficient. On
19 Nov 02, the discharge authority directed applicant be discharged
with an honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation.
On 21 Nov 02, applicant was honorably discharged by reason of
“unsatisfactory performance,” and was issued an RE code of 2C. He
was credited with 6 months and 15 days of active duty service.
On 12 May 03, applicant’s DD Form 214, was administratively
corrected to reflect the rank of AB in Item 4a, pay grade E-1 in
Item 4b, and Primary Specialty, 1C311 rather than 2S011 in Item 11.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial of applicant’s request. They
found that the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation.
Additionally, that the discharge was within the sound discretion of
the discharge authority. They also noted that the applicant did
not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and indicated that the RE
code of 2C is correct.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached 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, no response has been received by this office.
___________________________________________________________________
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. At the time a
member is separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE
Code predicated upon the quality of their service and the
circumstances of their 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 2C accurately reflects his involuntary
separation with an honorable discharge. After careful
consideration of the evidence provided, we are not persuaded that
the assigned RE code is in error or unjust or that an upgrade of
the RE code is warranted. 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.

After thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record, we find no impropriety in the characterization of the applicant's discharge. Likewise, since we have determined favorable consideration of the applicant’s request for a discharge upgrade is not appropriate at this time, his request for his RE Code to be changed is not possible. ___________________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered this application in Executive Session on 26 March...
