INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
MANDATORY CASE COMPLETION DATE: 19 OCT 2008
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2B (involuntarily
separated with a general or under other than honorable condition
(UOTHC) discharge) be changed.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has completed the two-year waiting period for re-entry. He has
no serious or damaging disciplinary actions against his record to
warrant an RE code of 2B.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 8 Jun 04 for a
period of six years.
On 11 Jan 05, the squadron commander initiated administrative
discharge action against the applicant for unsatisfactory
performance or conduct. The reason for the proposed action was
that applicant failed to make satisfactory progress in a required
technical training program. He was eliminated from the Air
Transportation Apprentice training course for unsatisfactory
performance after failing Block I test and Block II test, twice,
with scores of 68%, 52%, and 60% respectively; the minimum passing
score being 70%. Prior to being disenrolled, applicant was
counseled concerning his performance and was washed back two times.
On that same date, applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge
notification. On 18 Jan 05, he waived his right to consult counsel
and to submit statements in his own behalf. On 21 Jan 05, the
Deputy Chief, Adverse Actions, found the case to be legally
sufficient. On 26 Jan 05, the discharge authority directed
applicant be discharged with an honorable characterization of
service; however, he decided probation and rehabilitation were not
appropriate.
On 1 Feb 05, applicant was honorably discharged by reason of
“unsatisfactory performance,” and was issued an RE code of 2B. He
was credited with 7 months and 25 days of active duty service.
On 20 Apr 07, a DD Form 215, Correction to DD Form 214, Certificate
of Release or Discharge from Active Duty was completed
administratively correcting his DD Form 214 to reflect an RE code
of 2C (involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or
entry level separation without characterization of service).
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS recommended denial of applicant’s request. They
found the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge instruction.
Additionally, the discharge was within the discretion of the
discharge authority. They also noted the applicant did not submit
any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that occurred in
the discharge processing, nor provided any facts warranting a
change to his reenlistment eligibility code.
HQ AFPC/DPPRS’s complete 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 20 Jun 07 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (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. 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 the circumstances
of their separation. Applicant’s RE code of 2C accurately reflects
that he was involuntarily separated with an honorable
characterization of service and given the circumstances surrounding
his separation, we believe the RE code issued was in accordance
with the governing directives. Therefore, in the absence of
persuasive 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.
