IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2010-01397

            COUNSEL:  NONE
            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry (RE) code of 2C  (“Involuntarily  separated  with  an  honorable
discharge; or entry-level separation without characterization  of  service”)
be changed to allow his reenlistment.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He was young and made a few mistakes during his tenure  in  the  Air  Force,
but has matured and can be a productive member of the Armed Forces.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an  airman  basic  on  15
Aug 06 for a term of four years.  On 11 Dec 06,  the  applicant’s  commander
notified him that he was recommending he be discharged from  the  Air  Force
for entry-level performance or conduct for minor  disciplinary  infractions.
The commander recommended he be given an entry level separation.

On 21 Dec 06, he was separated from the Air Force under  the  provisions  of
AFI  36-3208,  Administrative  Separation   of   Airmen,   for   Entry-Level
Performance and Conduct, with an uncharacterized  discharge.   He  served  a
total of four months and seven days active service.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this  application  are  contained
in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of the Air  Force,  which
are attached at Exhibits C and D.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial.  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 did  not  provide  any
evidence of an error  or  injustice  in  the  processing  of  his  discharge
warranting a change to his RE code or character of service.

The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states that  RE  code  2C  is  required
based on the entry-level separation with  uncharacterized  service  per  the
governing instruction.

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to  the  applicant  on  5
Nov 10, for review and  comment  within  30  days.   As  of  this  date,  no
response has been received by this office (Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided  by  existing  law  or
regulations.

2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the interest  of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

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 opinions and recommendations of the Air Force  offices  of  primary
responsibility (OPR)  and  adopt  their  rationale  as  the  basis  for  our
conclusion the applicant has not been the  victim  of  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.
