RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-00455
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 31 AUGUST 2006
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “2C” be changed to allow her
to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Board should review her DD Form 214 to either accept or decline
the change in her RE code.
In support of her appeal, she has submitted a copy of DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 July 2004 for a
period of four years.
On 22 October 2004, the applicant received notification from her
commander that she was being recommended for discharge. The basis for
the commander's recommendation:
1. Failure to adapt to the military environment.
2. Failure to make satisfactory progress in a required training
program.
3. Reluctance to make the effort necessary to meet Air Force
standards of conduct and duty performance.
4. Lack of self-discipline.
5. Minor disciplinary infractions.
6. Failure to meet fitness standards.
Applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification for discharge and
waived her rights to consult with legal counsel and submit statements
in her own behalf. The discharge authority approved the separation
and directed that the applicant be discharged with an uncharacterized
entry-level separation.
On 29 October 2004, the applicant was separated from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen (entry-level performance and conduct), with an RE code of 2C
and an uncharacterized entry-level separation. The applicant had a
total of 3 months and 10 days of total active military service.
_________________________________________________________________
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
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, her
uncharacterized character of service is correct and in accordance with
Department of Defense and Air Force instructions.
AFPC/DPPRS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
18 February 2005 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, there has been no response 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 an error or injustice. After careful consideration
of the circumstances of this case and the evidence provided by the
applicant, we are not persuaded that the applicant's discharge and the
reenlistment code she received was in error or unjust. The Board
notes the discharge and RE code "2C" that the applicant received
indicates an uncharacterized entry-level separation for serving less
than 6 months of service which would be appropriate considering that
the applicant served 3 months and 10 days of active military service.
While the applicant’s contentions are duly noted, we agree with the
opinions and recommendations of the Air Force and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not
established that she has 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.
