RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00971
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, be corrected to reflect a re-entry (RE) code.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was told he would be able to re-enter other branches of the
military.
He wants to be an officer and after years of education, he feels
he would be an asset.
In support of the request, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Regular Air Force on 5 Aug 99.
On 10 Aug 99, the applicant was diagnosed with Sickle Cell
Trait. He was given the option to apply for separation or
continue his career in the Air Force. On 9 Aug 99, the
applicant chose separation.
He was discharged on 3 Sep 99 with an uncharacterized entry
level separation with a RE code of 2C (involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or uncharacterized entry level
separation).
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends assigning an RE code that would allow
reentry.
The complete HQ AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the RE code of 2C
is not driven by a medical condition and HQ AETC/SGPS does not
have the authority or any valid input as to the correctness of
the RE code. SGPS is qualified to recommend the applicant be
given an opportunity to reapply for military service based on
his current medical status (if otherwise eligible). This
support/recommendation does not entitle the applicant to the
opportunity for reentry or a change to his RE code, but should
prevent him from being denied entry based on his current medical
condition.
If Recruiting Services are not currently waiving the RE code 2C
for prior service personnel, then the applicant is not otherwise
eligible. Although he may now meet medical requirements, he
still does not meet prior service requirements, and to hide or
discard the RE code of 2C he received based on his
uncharacterized entry level separation would be inappropriate.
Additionally, the SGPS recommendation should be considered by
Recruiting Services in whether or not to process a waiver for
the applicants reentry and not considered when validating the
applicants RE code.
The complete HQ AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 17 Sep 10 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a
response.
_________________________________________________________________
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; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
of HQ AFPC/DPSOA and adopt its rationale as the basis for our
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Therefore, 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 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.
