RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2006-02904
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 26 MAR 2008
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from 2C to a
favorable one that would allow her to reenlist into the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was immature and she lied to her military training instructor in
an effort to separate from the Air Force. She realizes her mistakes
and would like to serve her country.
In support of her request, the applicant submits a Personal Statement
and a copy of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on
31 August 1994. On 23 September 1994, the applicant was notified by
her commander that he was recommending she be discharged from the Air
Force for concealment of a medical condition, which if revealed could
have resulted in rejection of her enlistment. The basis for the
action was that she failed to disclose her preservice psychological
counseling. She was advised of her rights in this matter. She waived
her rights to consult counsel, and elected not to submit statements in
her own behalf. The base legal office reviewed the case and found it
legally sufficient to support separation and recommended applicant be
separated with an entry-level separation. The discharge authority
approved the discharge and directed an entry-level separation. On 23
September 1994, she was discharged with an uncharacterized entry-level
separation, under the provisions of AFR 39-10, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, (Fraudulent Entry into Military Service). She
received an RE code of 2C “Involuntarily separated with an honorable
discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of
service”. She served 23 days total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Based upon the documentation in the
file, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation. The discharge was within
the discretion of the discharge authority. She provided no facts
warranting a change to her RE code. Airman, 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
continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and the
service to characterize their limited service. Therefore, her
uncharacterized character of service is correct and in accordance with
Department of Defense and Air Force instructions.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
17 Nov 06, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date, no
response has 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 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 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. 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.
