RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00168
INDEX CODE: 110.02
XXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE code) be changed from 2C (involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service) to a code that will allow
him to reenter the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He failed his Career Development Course (CDC) due to family
issues back home. Specifically, his brothers health was bad and
it affected his ability to focus and concentrate. This is no
longer a hardship as his brother has passed away.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, a
personal statement, two letters of recommendation, a physicians
statement, and a printout of his hospital visits.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Air Force on 28 November 2000. On 7
May 2003, his commander notified the applicant he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for unsatisfactory
performance, specifically, failure to progress in on-the-job
training (OJT) under the authority of AFPD 36-32, Military
Retirements and Separations, and AFI 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen. The commander recommended his service be
characterized as honorable.
The applicant was also advised of his right to consult counsel
and submit documents in his own behalf. He acknowledged receipt
on 8 May 2003, indicated he had consulted counsel and waived his
right to submit a statement in his own behalf. On 15 May 2003,
the Staff Judge Advocate found the proposed discharge legally
sufficient and recommended the applicant be discharged with an
honorable characterization of service, without probation and
rehabilitation. On 20 May 2003, the discharge authority approved
the applicants separation with service characterized as
honorable.
The applicant was separated on 28 May 2003 and credited with
two years and six months of service. He was given a RE code of
2C and a narrative reason for separation of Unsatisfactory
Performance.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS does not make a specific recommendation but notes the
applicant received counseling on several occasions and was
afforded ample opportunity to overcome his deficiencies. DPSOS
states the applicant did not submit any evidence or identify any
errors that occurred in the discharge processing.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request for
change of his RE code. The 2C RE code is required based on the
involuntary separation with honorable character of service per
AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, Chapter 3. The applicant
did not provide any evidence of an error or injustice in
reference to his RE code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant requests the Board consider the whole picture of
his case. He failed two CDC exams but he did his best with
respect to the hardship he was experiencing and the time spent in
his unit as a personnel apprentice. His enlisted performance
reports note his achievements while serving on active duty. He
has provided post service and character reference letters in
support of his request.
The applicants complete response, with attachments, is at
Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
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. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case to include his response to the Air Force evaluation;
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 the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. We considered changing
his RE code on the basis on clemency; however, we do not find the
evidence presented is sufficient to recommend granting the relief
sought on that basis. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to
the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting his request.
4. 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 issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
