RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01359
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
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 to allow his
reenlistment.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His fathers ill health weighed heavily on his mind and inhibited
his ability to succeed while he was in technical training school.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, and his fathers Certificate of Death.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman
basic on 22 Jul 08 for a term of four years.
On 12 Dec 08, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending he be discharged from the Air Force for entry-level
performance or conduct. The commander recommended he be given an
entry level separation.
The reason for the commanders recommendation was the applicants
failure to make satisfactory progress in a required training
program and for falsifying his progress check score sheet by
placing false grades on the sheet with the intent to deceive the
instructors. For this misconduct, on 30 Oct 08 he received a
Letter of Reprimand (LOR), and on 31 Oct 08 an unfavorable
information file was established.
He acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge on
17 Dec 08, and waived his right to consult counsel and submit
statements in his own behalf. The discharge case was reviewed by
the base legal office and found to be legally sufficient to
support discharge.
The discharge authority approved the separation and directed he
be discharged with uncharacterized service. He was separated on
24 Dec 08, under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen, for entry-level performance and conduct
with uncharacterized service and an RE code of 2C. He served
five months, and three days of active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibit C and Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge to include the service characterization was
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence
of an error or injustice in the processing of his discharge
warranting a change to his character of service, separation code
or narrative reason for separation.
DPSOS indicates they understand how the medical situation with
his father could have affected his ability to concentrate on his
studies and could have ultimately resulted in his elimination
from the Emergency Management Apprentice Course. However, the
applicant received a LOR for falsifying a progress check score
sheet which is not excusable regardless of his fathers medical
health condition.
DPSOS indicates the applicants service characterization is
correct as reflected on his DD Form 214.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant did not
provide any proof of error or injustice regarding his RE Code.
The RE code 2C is required based on the entry-level separation
with an uncharacterized character of service per the governing
instruction.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
Copies of the Air Force evaluation were forwarded to the
applicant on 29 Oct 10, for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
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 (OPR) and
adopt their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the
applicant has not been the victim of 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.
