RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02689
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His uncharacterized entry-level separation be changed to an honorable
discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told that he would receive an honorable discharge during his
separation interview.
In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 24 September 1991
for a term of 4 years.
On 21 January 1992, he was notified of his commander’s intent to
recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFR 39-10, Section D, Paragraph 5-22B(3), (Entry-Level
Performance). The reason for this action was that he failed to make a
passing score on required training. He scored 60%, 64%, 69% and 63%
and the required passing score was 70%. He was advised of his rights
in this matter and acknowledged receipt of the notification on that
same date. He elected to waive his right to consult counsel. In a
legal review of the case file, the assistant staff judge advocate
found the case legally sufficient and recommended that he be
discharged without probation and rehabilitation. The discharge
authority concurred with the recommendation and directed that he be
discharged with an entry-level separation. He was separated on 22
January 1993 after serving three (3) months and twenty-nine (29) days
on active duty and was issued a reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of
“2C.”
_____________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Airmen are given entry-level
separation/uncharacterized service characterization when separation is
initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service. The
applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the discharge processing. Additionally,
he provided no facts warranting an upgrade of his discharge.
The DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAT provides no recommendation; however, concurs with
AFPC/DPPAE's recommendation. The states that data indicates the
applicant was declined Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) enrollment on 24
September 1991. He left active duty on 22 January 1992 after serving
three (3) months and twenty-nine (29) days on active duty and was
issued a reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “2C” with an
uncharacterized entry-level separation.
The DPPAT evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 13 Sep 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 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 an error or injustice. After a thorough review of
the documentation provided in support of his appeal and the evidence
of record, it is our opinion that since the applicant served less than
the required 180 days, the type of separation was correct. The
comments provided by the Air Force appear to be accurate and we are in
agreement with their recommendation. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend a
change in his discharge characterization.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES 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.

Although the discharge was proper, the applicant may now meet enlistment medical standards and the evidence warrants a change of RE code. The Consultant recommends approval but adds that a change of RE code by the Board is not equivalent to a finding of medically qualified for enlistment and does not guarantee acceptance by the Air Force for enlistment. A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit D. HQ AFPC/DPPAE advises the 4C RE code was applied in accordance with governing...
