RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00249
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reentry (RE) code of 2C (involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be upgraded.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on
16 August 2011. For an accounting of the facts and
circumstances surrounding the applicants separation, and, the
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record
of Proceedings at Exhibit F.
The applicant submits a request for reconsideration, contending
that her RE code was based on the recently repealed Dont Ask
Dont Tell (DADT) category. She desires to recommit herself to
the military and would like to apply to the Air National Guard.
This is her second request, for the first request was denied
just prior to the repeal of DADT.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit G.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
In an earlier finding, prior to the repeal of DADT, the Board
determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant corrective
action. We have reviewed the applicants statements indicating
the Boards determination that subsequent to the repeal of DADT
she should resubmit her request. Based on the repeal of DADT,
the Department of Defense issued policy guidance that Service
Discharge Review Boards should normally grant requests to re-
characterize the discharge to honorable, when both of the
following conditions are met: (1) the original discharge was
based solely on DADT or a similar policy in place prior to
enactment of DADT and (2) there were no aggravating factors in
the record, such as misconduct. Based on our review of the
evidence of record, the applicants discharge meets these
requirements. Therefore, we recommend her records be corrected
as indicated below.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to reflect that on
3 Feb 94, she was discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-10,
with a reason for separation of Secretarial Authority, with the
corresponding separation code of KFF, and a reentry (RE) code of
1J.
