RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-03899 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His discharge characterization be changed to honorable, medical, 
or general (under honorable conditions). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was separated from the Air Force for medical reasons not 
misconduct and the characterization of his service hinders his 
efforts to secure employment. 

 

In support of his appeal, the applicant submits extracts from his 
military personnel and medical records. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman 
basic on 18 May 10 for a term of four years. On 24 Jun 10, the 
applicant’s commander notified him that he was recommending he be 
discharged from the Air Force for Erroneous Enlistment. The 
commander stated that a medical narrative summary, dated 
18 Jun 10, found the applicant did not meet minimum medical 
standards to enlist. 

 

On 29 Jun 10, the applicant was separated from the Air Force 
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of 
Airmen, for Failed Medical/Physical Procurement Standards, with 
an uncharacterized discharge. He served a total of 1 month and 
12 days of active service. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 an error or injustice. Based on the 
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs, 
the Board assumes the applicant’s uncharacterized discharge was 
proper and in compliance with the directive under which it was 
effected. Furthermore, airmen are given entry-level separation 
with uncharacterized service when separation is initiated in the 
first 180 days continuous active service. The Department of 
Defense (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days 
continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and 
the service to characterize their limited service. Therefore, 
the uncharacterized character of service on his DD Form 214 is 
correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions. 
Additionally, we note the applicant’s RE code should reflect 
2C “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or 
entry-level separation without characterization of service”, 
based on his entry-level separation with uncharacterized service. 
As such, his records will be administratively corrected to 
reflect the correct RE code of “2C”. 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 the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
