IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-03254
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
xxxxxxxxxxxx COUNSEL: NONE
xxxxxxxxxxxx HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 28 APR 2007
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His (RE) code be changed to allow him to join the Air National
Guard.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When he enlisted into the Air Force he was assured by his recruiter
he would be trained into the security forces career; however upon
completion of basic training he was told that his specialty would
be heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. He has matured,
completed extensive training in law enforcement and would like to
serve his country.
In support of his request, the applicant submitted a personal
statement, a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty, and DD Form 293, Application for the
Review of Discharge or Dismissal from the Armed Forces of the
United States.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 February
1997, in the grade of airman basic.
On 9 June 1997, his commander notified him that he was recommending
he be discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (entry-level performance
and conduct). The specific reason for his action was the applicant
failed his Block 1 and Block 2 tests with unsatisfactory scores of
60% and 40%; passing score is 70. He also received a Letter of
Reprimand (LOR) on 19 May 1997, for failure to show up for CQ duty
and for returning to his dormitory after his assigned curfew; and
on 24 April 1997, he received a LOR for violating AETC policy
against tobacco use in uniform.
The applicant was advised of his rights in the matter. On 9 June
1997, he acknowledged receipt of the notification, waived his right
to consult counsel, and elected not to submit statements on his own
behalf.
The case was reviewed on 16 June 1997, and found to be legally
sufficient to support discharge. He was separated from the Air
Force on 18 June 1997, with an uncharacterized entry-level
separation, and received an RE code of 2C ”Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service.” He served 3 months and 29 days on
active duty.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states that based upon the
documentation in the file, 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.
The applicant did not submit any new evidence or identify any
errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge process; nor
did he provide any facts warranting a change to his RE code or
narrative reason for separation.
According to DPPRS, Airmen are given an uncharacterized entry-level
separation 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.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He willingly asks that his discharge characterization not be
changed and takes full responsibility for his actions. He believes
he has made a significant change in his life and would be a
valuable asset to the Air Force. He provides post service
documentation in the form of a college transcript, awards,
certification and a resume that he feels will reflect the changes
he has made as well as his accomplishments.
The applicant requests his RE code be changed to allow enlistment
in the Air National Guard.
Applicant’s complete response, with attachments, is at Exhibit E.
___________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to warrant
changing the applicant’s reenlistment eligibility (RE) code. We
took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the
merits of the case, however; we agree with the opinions and
recommendations 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.
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.
