RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03352
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His uncharacterized entry-level separation be changed and his
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code 2C be changed so that he
may reenlist into the Armed Forces.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes that he deserves the chance to reenlist in the
military. He feels the job choice he made was not a good
selection for him. Given the opportunity to come back, he will
be able to serve in another job choice. Meanwhile, the record is
in error because it does not reflect his desire to serve.
In support of his application, the applicant has provided a
letter from the Army National Guard of Colorado, and a DD Form
293, Application for the Review of Discharge from the Armed
Forces of the United States.
Applicants complete submission, with attachments is at Exhibit
A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman
basic on 19 December 2006 for a term of four years.
On 18 April 2007, the commander notified the member that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for entry-level
performance and conduct. Basis for the commanders
recommendation was that the applicant failed to make
satisfactory progress in a required training program.
Specifically, the applicant failed Block 3, Unit 6. He tested
twice with scores of 60% and 50%. The minimum passing score is
70%.
Applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge
and understood he may be discharged with an entry-level
separation.
________________________________________________________________
_
The base legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient to support separation and recommended he be separated
with an entry-level separation. The discharge authority approved
the separation and directed he be separated with an
uncharacterized entry-level discharge.
The applicant was involuntarily discharged under the provisions
of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen (entry-level
performance and conduct) with uncharacterized service and a 2C
(Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-
level separation without characterization of service) RE code.
He served 4 months and 7 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
_
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial and 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. This 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 RE code.
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
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/DPSOSs complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial and DPSOA finds no evidence of
error or injustice. The 2C RE code for his separation is
correct.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluation were forwarded to the
applicant on 30 November 2007, for review and comment within 30
days. 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 concerning
the applicants RE code. The applicant has provided no evidence
showing that his assigned RE code is in error or contrary to the
prevailing instruction. The RE code which was issued at the
time of applicants separation accurately reflects the
circumstances of his separation and we do not find this code to
be in error or unjust. We, therefore, conclude that no basis
exists upon which to recommend favorable action on his request
that it be changed. While RE code 2 series indicates
Conditions Barring Immediate Reenlistment, we note that the
Army National Guard may elect to waive his ineligibility and
allow him to enlist if they so desire. Therefore, we agree with
the opinions and recommendation of the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis
for our conclusion that the applicant has not established that
she has 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 a 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.
