RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03710
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to a code that would
allow enlistment into the Navy.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was honorably discharged from the Air Force and should have been
given an RE Code that would allow him more options. He does not
necessarily believe the RE code to be in error, and he was given the
code by someone who thought the code was appropriate.
In support of the request, applicant submits a copy of a Navy
Reenlistment Code Chart, a copy of a Congressional Inquiry, a copy of
his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty,
and a copy of his DD Form 256, Honorable Discharge from the Armed
Forces of the United States of America.
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
26 Jan 95, for a term of four years and was progressively promoted to
the grade of senior airman. On 4 May 98, he was notified by his
commander that he was recommending that he be discharged from the Air
Force with an honorable discharge for Involuntary Convenience of the
Government, Parenthood, Other Airmen. The basis for the action was he
failed to make adequate family care arrangements for his dependent
son, as required by AFI 36-2908, Family Care Plans.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and waived his right to
consult counsel, and elected not to submit statements on his own
behalf. The base legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient. The discharge authority approved the discharge for
Involuntary Convenience of the Government, Parenthood, Other Airmen,
with an honorable discharge, without probation and rehabilitation
(P&R). On 22 May 98, he was administratively discharged with an
honorable discharge, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
Administrative Separation of Airmen, (Involuntary Convenience of the
Government, Parenthood, Other Airmen). He received an RE code of 2C
“Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level
separation without characterization of service”. He served 3 years,
3 months and 27 days total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states, in part, that there is no
error or injustice noted. The applicant was involuntarily discharged
based on a valid action of failure to make adequate childcare
arrangement for a dependent. Married military to military members are
subject to the same short-notice and world-wide deployments. An
established and workable dependent care plan is incumbent on the
active duty member(s). Failure to provide for and maintain an
adequate plan for care of minor dependents in the event of a short or
long term deployment/contingency is not compatible with military
service. He was fully aware of these actions, and on 14 Mar 98,
requested involuntary discharge due to inability to establish a viable
dependent care plan.
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
15 Feb 08, 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 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.
