RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-04705
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
entry level separation without characterization of service) be
changed to allow his reentry into the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He should have received a different type of discharge.
He was only 18 years old, and has learned from his actions and
knows he will be ready to start again if given the chance.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
discharge documents.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Sep 10, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of six years.
On 16 Nov 10, the applicant was notified by his squadron
commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air
Force for entry level performance or conduct. The reasons for
the proposed action were the applicants unsatisfactory
performance, Basic Training Record (BMT Form 105A) with
documented minor disciplinary infractions, and his failure to
adapt to the military environment while in Basic Military
Training (BMT).
On 16 Nov 10, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and after consulting with legal
counsel, submitted a statement in his own behalf.
On 19 Nov 10, the applicant was discharged by reason of entry
level performance and conduct, and issued an RE code of 2C. He
served on active duty for a period of 1 month and 22 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicants
service characterization is correct. Airmen are given entry-
level separation/uncharacterized service characterization when
separation is initiated in the first 180 days of 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, his uncharacterized service is
correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
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 provided no
evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of his
discharge.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
code (2C) is correct based on his entry level separation without
characterization of service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 22 Apr 11, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date,
a response has not been received (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 opinion and recommendation
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.
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.
