AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-01921
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 25 DECEMBER 2007
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code be changed from “2C” to a “1.”
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was initially doing well during the first phase of his technical
training; however, towards the end of the training there were events going
on back home affecting his ability to successfully complete the training.
He requested to speak with his Military Training Leader who referred him
for a Behavior Analysis Study; after the study, he was returned to training
and washed out. Afterwards, he was discharged after making several
requests to his commander to stay in the Air Force.
In support of the application, the applicant submits a personal memorandum,
a recommendation letter from a retired Master Sergeant, a copy of his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release and Discharge from active duty; and a
letter from the applicant to his former commander.
The complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 July 2004 for a period
of four years. On 10 November 2004, he was academically eliminated from
the Security Forces Apprentice course. As a result, on 2 December 2004, he
was notified by his commander that he was being recommended for discharge.
The authority for this action was AFPD 36-32, Air Force Military Training
and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, chapter 5, paragraph
5.22.2. Entry-Level Performance or Conduct. After being advised of his
rights, he submitted a statement on his own behalf but waived his right to
consult counsel. The case was reviewed by the base legal services and
found to be legally sufficient to support discharge. The discharge
authority approved the separation and ordered an uncharacterized, entry-
level separation.
In addition to the Record of Counseling’s (ROC) for failing three written
tests, there was an ROC for missing a mandatory formation, this ROC was
also cited as one of the reasons for the applicant’s discharge.
On 17 December 2004, he was discharged and issued an entry-level
uncharacterized separation. He received an RE code of 2C, “Involuntarily
separated with an entry-level separation without characterization of
service.”
He served 5 months and 12 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRSP recommends denial. DPPRSP states 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 (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180
days of 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 DoD
and Air Force instructions. The applicant did not identify any errors or
injustices that occurred in the discharge process. Additionally, he
provided no facts warranting a change in his RE code or narrative reason
for separation.
The complete HQ AFPC/DPPRS evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force Evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 14
July 2006 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, this
office has received no response (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 to warrant changing the separation code.
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 office of primary responsibility and adopt its rationale
as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim
of an error or injustice. 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.
