RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01317 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of 2B, which denotes separated with a 
general or under other than honorable conditions discharge be 
changed to a favorable code which will allow him enlistment in 
the U.S. Army. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He made mistakes in his last enlistment which resulted in his 
discharge. 

 

He would like to once again serve his country. 

 

The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 9 Dec 08, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. 

 

On 20 Jul 09, the applicant was notified of pending discharge 
action. Specifically, the commander cited minor disciplinary 
infractions as the basis for discharge. The applicant 
acknowledged receipt of the notification, consulted counsel as 
directed, and submitted statements in his own behalf. 

 

The applicant’s misconduct included an Article 15, Uniform Code 
of Military Justice, for disobeying a lawful order, two Letters 
of Reprimand for failing to complete his homework and refraining 
from carrying a cell phone while in uniform, possessing tobacco 
products in the dormitory, horse-playing in the schoolhouse 
corridors with another airman, failing to remain on station 
while in Phase I, and making a false official statement. 

 

On 31 Jul 09, the staff judge advocate found the discharge 
legally sufficient; however, his recommendation to the discharge 
authority was to consider retaining the applicant or offer him a 
period of probation and rehabilitation based on the significant 
investment the Air Force had in the applicant. The discharge 
authority found the applicant unsuitable for further military 


service and probation and rehabilitation was unwarranted because 
of his pattern of minor disciplinary infractions. 

 

On 4 Aug 09, the applicant was discharged with a general (under 
honorable conditions) discharge with the narrative reason of 
Misconduct – Minor Infractions and the RE code 2B. He was 
credited with 7 months and 26 days of active service. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that based on the 
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the 
discharge, to include his characterization of service and RE 
code, was consistent with the procedural and substantive 
requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the 
discretion of the discharge authority. 

 

The complete HQ AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant’s RE 
code of “2B” is required based on his involuntary discharge with 
a general (under honorable conditions) discharge. Further, the 
applicant did not provide any evidence of an error or injustice 
to warrant a change in his character of service. 

 

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 29 Oct 10 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E). 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 timely filed. 

 

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 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. 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.
