RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-01441
COUNSEL:
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her uncharacterized entry level separation, separation code of
JFW which denotes failed medical/physical procurement
standards, and reentry (RE) code of 4C (separated for
concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet
physical standards for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0
reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading
Abilities Test, or void enlistment) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was healthy prior to entering military service and never had
any medical alerts to question her enlistment.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a character
letter and a letter from her nurse practitioner.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 21 Jul 09, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force.
On 17 Aug 09, the applicant was diagnosed as having a heat
stroke with residual symptoms which were disqualifying for
continued service.
On 27 Aug 09, the applicant was notified of pending discharge
action based on her heat stroke diagnosis. She waived her
rights to consult counsel and to submit statements in her own
behalf.
On 31 Aug 09, the staff judge advocate found the case legally
sufficient and on 1 Sep 09, the discharge authority directed
discharge.
On 3 Sep 09, the applicant was discharged with an
uncharacterized entry level separation. She was credited with
1 month and 13 days of active service.
The Department of Defense determined if a service member served
less than 180 days of continuous active service, it would be
unfair to characterize their limited service. Therefore, airmen
are given entry level uncharacterized service characterization
when separation is initiated within the first 180 days
continuous active duty service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AETC/SGPS recommends denial and states the discharge was
processed in accordance with established policy and
administrative procedures.
The complete HQ AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial in changing the applicants
narrative reason for discharge and separation code. DPSOS
states that based on the documentation in the master personnel
records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete HQ AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends partial relief by changing the
applicants RE code of 4C to 2C which denotes involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service. DPSOA states the 2C RE
code is required based on the applicants uncharacterized entry
level separation. Further, DPSOY will provide the applicant a
corrected copy of her DD Form 214 with an RE code of 2C,
unless otherwise directed by the Board.
The complete HQ AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 11 Feb 11 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit F). 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 and note her DD Form 214 will be administratively
corrected to reflect an RE code of 2C. However, we agree with
the opinions and recommendations of the 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.

His correct RE code is “2C” (involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge, or entry level separation without characterization of service) based on his receiving an involuntary entry level separation. The applicant has not submitted any evidence or identified any errors or injustices that occurred in the discharge processing. Exhibit B.

On 29 Jan 10, the applicant was notified by his commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. Although both AFPC/DPSOA and DPSOS recommend denial of relief DPSOA does note the applicants RE code is in error, and should be 2C; however, based on the review and recommendation provided by AETC/SGPS we believe his RE code should be changed to 3K, which would afford him the opportunity to apply for enlistment in the armed services. We note that...

It appears the specific reasons for this action was that she had back problems prior to entry on active duty but failed to disclose these problems until she was in BMT. In addition, SGPS states if the findings of the Board are in favor with the applicant, they can support her request to change her RE Code from “Fraudulent Entry” to "Not Medically Qualified.” The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
