IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02769
            INDEX CODE:  112.00

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C be changed.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He wanted another chance and he didn’t know how to ask  at  the  time.
So he wants to see if he can try again.

In support of the appeal, applicant submits a  personal  statement,  a
copy of his DD Form 293, and a copy of his DD Form 214.

Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 18 April 2002.

On 6 August 2002, the commander notified the  applicant  that  he  was
recommending an entry-level separation from the Air Force  because  he
failed to make satisfactory  progress  in  Security  Forces’  required
training program.  Applicant failed to  achieve  a  passing  score  on
written Test 2 Version B by scoring 52% -  minimal  passing  was  70%;
failed  to  meet  the  standards  required  for  Use  of  Force   live
application scenario on 5 July 2002; and failed to achieve  a  passing
score on his written Test 3 Version B by scoring 60 - minimum  passing
was 72%.  On 16 July 2002, he  was  found  in  another  airman’s  room
playing video games when he was supposed to  have  been  performing  a
detail.  Applicant waived his right to legal counsel and  declined  to
submit statements.  The base legal  services  reviewed  the  case  and
found it legally sufficient.  The  Discharge  Authority  approved  the
separation and ordered an entry-level discharge  for  performance  and
conduct.

The applicant, while  serving  in  the  grade  of  airman  basic,  was
separated from the Air Force on 15 August 2002 under the provisions of
AFI  36-3208,  Administrative  Separation   of   Airmen   (Entry-Level
Performance and Conduct), and received an uncharacterized  entry-level
separation.  He had served 3  months  and  28  days  of  total  active
service.  He was assigned an RE code of 2C,  “Involuntarily  separated
with  an  honorable  discharge;  or  entry  level  separation  without
characterization of service.”

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS states that they believe 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.

Airmen  are  given  entry-level   separation/uncharacterized   service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous active service.  The Department of Defense determined if an
applicant served less than 180  days  continuous  active  service,  it
would be unfair to the applicant and the service to characterize their
limited service.

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 9 January 2004, copies of the Air Force evaluations were  forwarded
to the applicant for review and response 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.   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.
