AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
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.
