RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-01571
INDEX CODE: 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 11 Nov 06
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
No one ever explained to him the meaning of his RE code. Furthermore,
the reason for his discharge was vague, and he believes he was
discharged unjustly.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided an expanded statement
and extracts from his military personnel records.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 18 Mar 03 for a
period of six years in the grade of airman basic.
On 31 Mar 05, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was
recommending the applicant be discharged for erroneous enlistment.
The reasons for the action was because all applicants for enlistment
into the Air Force must meet specific enlistment requirements. One of
the requirements was that the applicant not have a disqualifying
condition such as excessive debts or have a questionable credit
history. The commander indicated the Air Force did not acknowledge
the applicant’s situation of excessive debts upon his entry into the
military, and it had now adversely affected his ability to effectively
contribute to the Air Force. The applicant was advised of his rights
in the matter and that an honorable discharge would be recommended.
On 18 Apr 05, the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate found the
discharge case file to be legally sufficient and concurred with the
commander’s recommendation the applicant should be honorably
discharged. The discharge authority approved the discharge action and
directed that the applicant be honorably discharged.
On 19 Apr 05, the applicant was honorably discharged under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Erroneous Entry) in the grade of airman (E-
2). He was assigned an RE code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service). He was credited with two years, one
month, and one day of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial indicating that based on the
documentation in his records, the discharge was consistent with the
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge regulation,
and was within the discretion of the discharge authority. The
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 his RE code.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to applicant on 27
May 05 for review and response. As of this date, no response has 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 error or injustice. We note the Secretary of the Air
Force has statutory authority to promulgate rules and regulations
governing the administration of the Air Force. In the exercise of
that authority, the Secretary has determined that members separated
from the Air Force would be furnished an RE code predicated upon the
quality of their service and circumstances of their separation. The
evidence of record indicates the applicant was involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge for an erroneous enlistment. As a result,
he was assigned an RE code of 2C. It appears the applicant’s RE code
was appropriately assigned and accurately reflected the circumstances
of his separation, and, we find no evidence to indicate the assigned
RE code was in error. In view of the foregoing, and in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis exists to
recommend favorable action on the applicant’s request that his RE code
of 2C be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
