RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00153
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
XXXXXXX HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code “2C” be changed so that he may
reenlist in the Air National Guard (ANG).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The only error on the DD Form 214 is the reenlistment code.
In support of his application, applicant provided 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.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 December 2003, in the
grade of airman basic, for a period of four years.
On 26 April 2004, the commander notified the applicant that he was
recommending he be discharged from the Air Force for entry-level
performance and conduct. Specially, applicant was eliminated from his
technical training course for academic deficiencies. He failed the Block II
test with a score of 65%, and the Block III test with a score of 63%.
(1) Applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge
and waived his rights to consult with legal counsel and submit statements
in his own behalf.
(2) The base legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient to support separation and recommended applicant be separated
from the service with an entry-level separation.
(3) The discharge authority approved the separation and directed the
applicant be separated with an uncharacterized entry-level separation.
The applicant was separated from the Air Force on 18 May 2004 under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (entry-level
performance and conduct), with an uncharacterized entry-level separation.
He had served on active for a period of 5 months and 3 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial and stated that 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 his character of service or his reenlistment eligibility code.
Airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) 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 DoD and Air Force instructions.
AFPC/DPPRS’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 February 2006, 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.
_________________________________________________________________
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 warranting a change to his RE code.
After a thorough review of the evidence of record and the applicant’s
submission, it is our opinion that given the circumstances surrounding his
separation from the Air Force, the reenlistment code assigned was proper
and in compliance with the appropriate directives. The applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe otherwise. Therefore,
we agree with the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its
rational as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been
the victim of an error or injustice. In the absence of persuasive evidence
to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the
relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of probable 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.
