IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03080
INDEX CODE: 106.00
XXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment (RE) code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of
service) be changed so she may reenlist in the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was discharged for not completing alcohol rehabilitation. Three years
have passed and she has had no problems with drinking.
In support of her request, applicant provides a copy of her DD Form 214.
The applicant’s submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 18 Jun 02, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force in the grade
of airman first class (E-3) for a period of 6 years.
On 17 Jan 04, a Security Forces patrolman detected an alcoholic beverage on
her breath. On 21 Jan 04, the applicant was referred to the Alcohol and
Drug Abuse Preventive Treatment Program (ADAPT). The applicant refused to
participate in the ADAPT program.
On 9 Feb 04, the applicant’s commander initiated discharge proceedings
against her under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.32 (Failure in
Alcohol Abuse Treatment). The applicant was notified of his commander’s
recommendation and that an honorable discharge was being recommended. She
was advised of her rights in the matter. The applicant consulted counsel
and waived her right to submit statements in her behalf. On 12 Feb 04, the
discharge authority directed the applicant be discharged from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph 5.32, with character of
service as honorable. The applicant was discharged on 27 Feb 04 by reason
of “Alcohol Rehabilitation Failure” with a Separation Code of “JPD” and a
Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “2C.” She had served 1 year, 8
months and 11 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant’s RE code is
correct and should not be changed. The DPSOA 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 30 Nov
07 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 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 error or injustice that would warrant a change to her RE code.
Evidence has not been provided that would lead us to believe that the
applicant’s discharge in 2004 was erroneous or unjust. Therefore, we have
no basis to conclude that the corresponding RE code that was assigned at
the time of her separation does not accurately reflect the circumstances of
her separation. In the absence of evidence to indicate that the
information contained in her records is erroneous or that her commander
abused his discretionary authority, 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.
