RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00532
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 2C (involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He tried to reenlist into the military; however, the recruiter
advised him that they are not waiving RE code 2C. His military
physician indicated if his condition resolved, he could reapply
for enlistment.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a statement
from his military physician; civilian medical provider, and a
copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge
from Active Duty, issued in conjunction with his 3 Dec 08
discharge.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 29 Apr 08 for
a period of four years.
On 3 Nov 08, the applicant was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatters
Disease, a condition that disqualifies enlistment according to
AFI 48-123V2, para A3.17.1.
He was honorably discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208,
on 3 Dec 08, with a reason for separation of Erroneous Entry
(other) and a RE code of 2C. He was credited with seven months
and six days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial. They note, if the condition is
resolved and has remained asymptomatic for at least a year he is
eligible to apply to re-enter military service.
The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The RE code 2C is required based
on the involuntary separation with honorable character of
service per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, chapter 3.
The RE code of 2C is not driven by a medical condition and
AETC/SG (medical community) does not have authority or any valid
input as to the correctness of RE code. They are qualified to
recommend the applicant be given an opportunity to reapply for
military service based on his current medical status (if
otherwise eligible).
If Recruiting Services are not currently waiving the RE code of
2C for prior service personnel, then the applicant is not
otherwise eligible.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 10 Sep 10 for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. At the time
members are separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an
RE code predicated upon the quality of their service and the
circumstances of their separation. The applicants RE code of
2C accurately reflects his involuntary separation with an
honorable character of service; however, while we note the
comments submitted in the applicants behalf, in our view, the
Air Force offices of primary responsibility have adequately
addressed the issues presented by the applicant and we are in
agreement with their opinion and recommendation. Therefore,
after thoroughly reviewing the evidence of record, and given the
circumstances surrounding his separation, we find the RE code
was issued in accordance with the governing directives and that
an upgrade of his RE code is not warranted. In the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting
the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
