RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01318 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of “2B” (Separated with a general or under-
other-than-honorable-conditions (UOTHC) discharge) be changed so 
that he may reenter the service. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He understands he did wrong and deserved to be punished; however, 
he believes he deserves another chance to serve in the military. 
He has matured since separating from the Air Force. 

 

The applicant does not provide any supporting documentation. 

 

His complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 Apr 04. He 
was notified by his commander that he was recommending he be 
discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, 
paragraph 5.50.2, for a Pattern of Misconduct. The specific 
reasons for his action included: 1) he made false statements 
regarding the whereabouts and use of his government travel card; 
2) he failed to pay his debt to Bank of America Government Card 
Services in the amount of $3, 416.78; 3) he failed to report for 
duty and/or an appointment; 4) he failed to obey a lawful order; 
and 5) he was in violation of Article 92, Uniform Code of Military 
Justice (UCMJ). He received non-judicial punishment for his 
actions on 15 Nov 05 with a reduction in grade to airman basic; 30 
days extra duty with that portion of extra duty exceeding 7 days 
suspended, and a reprimand. The applicant also received a Letter 
of Counseling for failing to go to an appointment. The applicant 
waived his right to counsel and his right to submit statements on 
his own behalf. After a legal review, the wing staff judge 
advocate found the case legally sufficient. The applicant was 
discharged with a general (under honorable conditions) discharge on 
6 Jan 06. He was assigned an RE code “2B” (Involuntarily separated 
with a general or under-other-than-honorable-conditions (UOTHC) 


discharge). The applicant served 1 year, 8 months, and 10 days on 
active duty. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant received 
the appropriate RE code due to his pattern of misconduct. If his 
character of service were upgraded to honorable, his RE code would 
change to “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an honorable 
discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of 
service) which still makes him ineligible to reenlist. 

 

The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 11 Jun 10 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, this office has received no 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 an error or injustice. Applicant’s 
contentions are duly noted; however, we are not persuaded that the 
applicant has been the victim of an 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 
circumstances of their separation. After a thorough review of the 
evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s separation, the RE code issued was in 
accordance with the appropriate directives. Therefore, we find no 
basis upon which to recommend favorable action on 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.
