RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-01093 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Separation Code (SC) of "LBK" (Completion of Required 
Service, and denied reenlistment with half separation pay) be 
changed. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His SC of “LBK” is in error because he was told he could not 
receive elective surgeries if he did not have more than six 
months of time left in service. He was offered a program through 
the Department of Veterans Affairs if he would separate early 
from the Air Force. 

 

Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 21 January 1998 
and was progressively promoted of the grade of senior airman. 

 

On 5 July 2006, the applicant's supervisor rendered an AF IMT 
418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, recommending 
his nonselection for reenlistment. The commander concurred. The 
supervisor and commander cited numerous Letters of Counseling and 
Letters of Reprimand for failure to go, poor progress on the 
physical fitness program, failure to pay financial obligations, 
and profile issues. The applicant did appeal the decision. On 
22 September 2006, his appeal was denied by the wing commander. 

 

On 15 March 2007, he was honorably discharged in the grade of 
senior airman, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, para 2.2 (EST Separation), 
with a SC of "LBK" and a Reentry Code (RE) of 2X (First-term, 
second-term, or career airman considered but not selected for 

 

 

reenlistment under Selective Reenlistment Program). He served 9 
years, 1 month and 25 days of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of the applicant's request and 
states that based on the documentation in the master personnel 
record, the discharge to include his separation code and 
narrative reason for separation was consistent with the 
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge 
instruction. The applicant did not provide any evidence of an 
error or an injustice that occurred in the discharge processing. 
The SC code “LBK” is used to identify airmen who completed their 
required active service. Members receiving this code are 
eligible to receive half separation pay provided they have at 
least six years total active service at the time of their 
separation. Any correction to this code could result in the 
recoupment of the applicant's separation pay. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation attached at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant's request and 
states there is no evidence of an error or an injustice in his 
record; nor did the applicant submit any evidence to support a 
change. The applicant acknowledged his non-selection for 
reenlistment and declared his intent to appeal the decision. It 
appears the applicant never turned in his appeal package and the 
appeal was denied by the wing commander. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation attached at Exhibit D. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant provides a copy of his military identification card 
and a copy of his court-martial trial. In addition, he provides 
a copy of the complaint he filed regarding illegal use of a 
telephone, an Inspector General complaint of unfairness, and a 
copy of his physical profile. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an injustice. We took 
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the 
merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 


responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 
conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of an error 
or an injustice. Furthermore, we note any correction to this code 
could result in the recoupment of the applicant's separation pay. 
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 probable 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. 

 

_________________________________________________________________
