HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE) code of "2K" be changed to "3A" so he can enlist
with the Navy Reserve.
_________________________________________________________________

His performance and conduct was good, however he was under a great
deal of stress due to his parents' divorce while he attended technical
training school.
In support of the application, the applicant submits a personal
statement and a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 25 June 1997 for a
period of six years. On 7 January 1998, he was discharged from the
Air Force under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, chapter 5, section D, paragraph 5.22.2., Entry-
Level Performance or Conduct and was issued an uncharacterized
separation. The specific reason for this action was that he received
an Article 15 for failure to go on 10 December 1997 and on 3 December
1997, he was permanently decertified from the Personnel Reliability
Program (PRP). He received an RE code of 2K, “Has been formally
notified by the unit commander of initation of involuntary separation
action.” He served 6 months and 12 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial and states there is no error or
injustice. The applicant was involuntarily discharged based on entry
level performance and conduct. Additionally, the Board should direct
the applicant's RE code of "2K" be corrected to more accurately
reflect his involuntarily, entry level separation to 2C -
"Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level
separation without characterization of service."
AFPC/DPSOA's complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial and states based on the documentation on
file in the master personnel records, the discharge was consistent
with procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge
relation. The discharge was within the discretion of the discharge
authority. The applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any
errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge process.
AFPC/DPSOS's complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
11 April 2008 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an injustice warranting partial relief. After
careful review of the evidence of record, it appears the applicant’s
separation was in compliance with the governing instruction and we
find no evidence to indicate his separation from the Air Force was
inappropriate. However, we note that the Air Force office of primary
responsibility has opined that the present RE code of "2K" is
incorrect. His RE code of 2K should be changed to "2C" to more
accurately reflect his involuntary, entry level separation. In all
other respects, the discharge appears to be in compliance with the
governing guidelines and we find no additional evidence to indicate
that his separation from the Air Force was inappropriate. Therefore,
we recommend his records be corrected only to the extent indicated
below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of his
discharge on 7 January 1998, he was issued a Reenlistment Eligibility
(RE) code of "2C."
