AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02101
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 9 JANUARY 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be corrected so he can re-enter
the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He is not saying his reentry code of “2C” is an injustice. He is
asking that he not be held accountable for a mistake he made over two
years ago. He believes he has matured and is now enrolled in school.
In addition, he has maintained steady employment with the same
employer.
The complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 24 Feb 04 for a
period of four years. On 26 Mar 05, applicant was notified by his
commander of his intent to recommend that he be discharged from the
Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32, Air Force Military
Training and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, chapter
5, section D, paragraph 5.22.2., Entry-Level Performance or Conduct.
The specific reasons for this action were his failure to adapt to the
military environment, a lack of self discipline, failure to make
satisfactory progress in a required training program, and reluctance
to make the effort necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct,
and duty performance. He also received an Article 15 for violation of
Article 86 for leaving his appointed place of duty without authority
and Article 92 for failure to obey a lawful order. The discharge
authority approved the separation and ordered an uncharacterized,
entry-level separation.
On 5 Apr 04, he was discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
Administrative Separation of Airmen for entry-level performance or
conduct and was 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 1 month and 12 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. DPPRS 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 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 4
Aug 06 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
reenlistment eligibility 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.
