RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04032
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1) His reentry code (RE) 2C (involuntary separation with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed.
2) His separation code JHJ (unsatisfactory performance) be
changed to allow him entry into the Air National Guard.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was separated from the Air Force for failing his Career
Development Course (CDC). His commander told him joining the
Air National Guard was a good plan. The recruiter informed him
that failing his CDCs was not a concern to the Air National
Guard. After receiving his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from Active Duty, he was told the reentry and
separation codes prevent him from joining the Air National
Guard.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, and a memorandum from the Base Training Manager.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 13 May 2008, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 21 October 2009 the applicant failed his end of course exam.
After this failure, the unit conducted a review of the
applicants training records and referred him to the Base
Education Center for reading and comprehension evaluations. The
applicant was removed from his normal duties and placed on
mandatory study, to include two hours of supervised study. On
16 December 2009, the applicant failed his second end of course
exam. On 23 March 2010, the squadron commander initiated
administrative discharge action against the applicant for
unsatisfactory performance: failure to progress in on-the-job
training. The applicant acknowledged his right to consult
counsel and submit matters on his behalf. On 25 March 2010, the
applicant submitted matters for the commanders consideration.
On 6 April 2010, the case was found legally sufficient.
On 17 April 2010, the applicant was discharged under the
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
for unsatisfactory performance: failure to progress in on-the-
job training with an honorable discharge. He was credited with
serving 1 year, 11 months and 5 days.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states there was no error
or injustice in the processing of the discharge action. The
discharge was consistent with procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states code 2C is required
per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on his entry
level separation with an honorable character of service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 8 April 2011, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice. We
took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging
the merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error
or injustice. Therefore, 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 that the applicant has not been the victim of an
error or injustice. In view of the foregoing and absent
evidence to the contrary, we conclude that no basis exists upon
which to recommend favorable action on the applicants request.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
