RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2004-01670
INDEX NUMBER: 100.06, 110.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed from RE-2 to RE-1
to permit reentry into the military.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was separated because of academic reasons. He does not believe
barring him from enlistment is fair for failing a test. He
believes he can succeed in the Air Force if allowed to reenlist.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 5 Mar 02, in the
grade of airman basic (E-1), for a period of four years.
On 30 May 02, applicant was notified of his commander’s intent to
recommend him for an entry level separation for failure to make
satisfactory progress in a required training program. The
commander stated the following reasons for the proposed discharge.
a. On 17 May 02, member failed Test 1 Version A with a score
of 56 percent – minimum passing score was 70 percent.
b. On 22 May 02, member failed Test 1 Version B with a score
of 42 percent – minimum passing score was 70 percent.
On 30 May 02, applicant waived his option to consult legal counsel
and to submit statements in his own behalf. On 31 May 02, the Air
Education and Training Command attorney advisor found the case file
to be legally sufficient to support separation. On 3 Jun 02, the
discharge authority directed an entry-level separation.
On 11 Jun 02, applicant received an uncharacterized entry level
separation, by reason of entry level performance and conduct, and
was issued a reenlistment eligibility (RE) Code of 2C
(involuntarily separated with an entry level separation). He
served three months and seven days active military service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends the application be denied, and states, in
part, based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. The
discharge was within the discretion of the discharge authority.
Applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the discharge processing. He provided
no facts warranting a change to the narrative reason for separation
or a change to his reenlistment eligibility code.
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 a member served less than 180 days continuous active service, it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their
limited service. Therefore, his uncharacterized character of
service is correct and in accordance with Department of Defense and
Air Force instructions.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit
C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 18 Jun 04, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a
reply has not been received by this office (Exhibit D).
___________________________________________________________________
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. 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. 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. Therefore, we find no
basis upon which to recommend favorable action on 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.
