RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-00416
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY COMPLETION DATE: 13 AUGUST 2007
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “4C“ be changed to a waiverable
code that would allow him to reenter the Armed Forces.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was given an RE code that does not allow him to reenlist. Both Navy and
Naval Reserve recruiters have stated the RE code he received is given to
enlistees who were in trouble. He only had one uncontrollable migraine
headache while in service and has not had any over the past six months. He
feels it is unjust and is keeping him from completing his goals.
In support of his application, he submits his personal statement. The
applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered active duty on 14 June 2005. He did not complete
basic military training (BMT).
In a medical narrative summary dated 12 July 2005, the applicant was not
recommended for enlistment because of fraudulent entry. It was indicated
in the report that he had frequent headaches before BMT, often missed
school/work and he did not inform the Military Entrance Processing Station
(MEPS).
On 18 July 2005, his commander notified him that he was recommending he be
separated from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-
3208 for Erroneous Enlistment. He acknowledged receipt and waived his
right to consult counsel or submit statements on his own behalf. The
Chief, Military Justice found the case legally sufficient to support
separation.
On 19 July 2005, the applicant was separated with an entry-level separation
because he failed medical/physical procurement standards. A reenlistment
eligibility (RE) code of 4C (Separated for concealment of juvenile records,
minority, failure to meet physical standards for enlistment, failure to
attain a 90 reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading
Abilities Test (AFRAT), or void enlistments) was assigned. He had served
one month and six days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS states 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, and the discharge was within the discretion of the
discharge authority. DPPRS affirms the applicant did not submit any
evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in the
discharge processing, and did not provide any facts warranting a change to
his reenlistment eligibility code. DPPRS notes 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 of
continuous active service it would be unfair to the member and the service
to characterize their limited service. DPPRS opines the applicant’s
uncharacterized character of service is correct and in accordance with DoD
and Air Force instructions.
The complete DPPRS 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 14
July 2006 for review and comment. As of this date, this office has
received no response.
________________________________________________________________
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. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we are not persuaded that he has been the victim of an
error or injustice. At the time members are separated from the Air Force,
they are furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of their service
and circumstances of their separation. After a thorough review of the
evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances surrounding the
applicant’s separation, the RE code issued was in accordance with the
appropriate directives. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable action on this application.
___________________________________________________________________
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.

It appears the specific reasons for this action was that she had back problems prior to entry on active duty but failed to disclose these problems until she was in BMT. In addition, SGPS states if the findings of the Board are in favor with the applicant, they can support her request to change her RE Code from “Fraudulent Entry” to "Not Medically Qualified.” The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
