RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2007-03974
INDEX CODE: 128.05
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: AMERICAN LEGION
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of "2B" which denotes "Separated with a general or
under-other-than-honorable-conditions (UOTHC) discharge” be upgraded so he
can enlist in the Army.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 3 Dec 07, the applicant submitted an application to the Board requesting
his character of service be upgraded from general (under honorable
conditions) to honorable. He also requested his RE code of "2B" and his
narrative reason for separation be upgraded.
On 8 Apr 08, the Board considered and denied his request. For an
accounting of the facts surrounding his previous request and the rationale
of the Board's earlier decision, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit
H.
On 27 Aug 08, the applicant submitted an application requesting his RE code
of “2B” be upgraded to allow his entry in the Army. He provided a personal
statement, post service information and a memorandum from an Army
recruiter. His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit I.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. After careful reconsideration of his request and thoroughly reviewing
his most recent submission, we do not find it sufficiently compelling to
warrant a revision of the Board’s earlier determination in this case. We
remain unpersuaded that his RE code should be changed to a waiverable code.
The RE code assigned for his separation is appropriate and correct. We
also feel compelled to note that if he desires to do so, he has the
available option of applying for enlistment into another branch of service
if they are willing to waive his RE code. Whether or not he is successful
in his attempts to return to the military will depend on the needs of the
service.
2. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issues involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate
the existence of 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.

They stated, in part, that they believe the applicant’s father was in fact lawfully married to his wife, ----- --------, and the payment of the death gratuity to his wife, ------, was proper. Since ----- ------ identified ------ as his wife on his enlistment paperwork in 1947, two years later, they can safely assume he did in fact hold out --------- to be his wife, and that they lived together as husband and wife.
