AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2010-03502 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED: NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
    
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
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. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He was told during a separation briefing that he would be able to 
rejoin the military 6 months after being discharged from the Air 
Force.    He  feels  it  to  be  unjust  that  he  cannot  enlist  in  the 
Navy or Marines.  He is now ready to serve his country despite 
his past mistakes.  He feels he was instigated by other people 
and thought it was okay to act the way he did; however, he now 
knows his actions were improper and takes sole responsibility for 
his  actions.    He  is  ready  to  serve  his  country  with  respect, 
responsibility, and honor. 
 
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD  Form  214,  Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge  from  Active 
Duty. 
 
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.  
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 21 Oct 08.  
He was notified by his commander that he was recommending him for 
discharge from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 
and AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section 5D, Entry Level Performance 
or  Conduct, Paragraph 5.22, eligibility and criteria, paragraph 
5.22.2.    The  specific  reason  for  this  action  was  for  his 
unsatisfactory performance and conduct as documented in his Basic 
Training Record (LAFB Form 105A), with separate negative entries 
dated 4 Nov 08; 6 Nov 08, 17 Nov 08, 21 Nov 08, and 25 Nov 08, 
that document the applicant’s minor disciplinary infractions and 
his failure to adapt to the military environment.  His commander 
recommended he be discharged with an entry-level discharge.  The 
applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification.  He 
 
 

was counseled and elected not to submit a statement on his own 
behalf.  He was discharged on 15 Dec 08 after serving 1 month and 
25 days on active duty. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSOA  recommends  denial.    DPSOA  states  the  applicant 
received  the  appropriate  RE  code  of  “2C”  for  his  entry-level 
separation  which coincides with his uncharacterized service for 
serving  less  than  180  days  of  continuous  active  service.    The 
applicant does not provide any proof of an error or injustice in 
regards to his RE code.  DPSOA notes that other components of the 
military  determine  their  own  eligibility  criteria  for  prior 
service personnel, and have the right to change their criteria at 
anytime to meet their individual needs.  It is not the RE code 
that prevents the applicant from entering the military; however, 
it is each component’s policy in reference to RE codes.   
 
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 27 Nov 10 for review and comment within 30 days.  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 an error or injustice.  We note that 
members  separated  from  the  Air  Force  are  furnished  an  RE code 
predicated upon the quality of their service and circumstances of 
their separation.  The evidence of record indicates the applicant 
was given an entry level separation for his performance.  As a 
result,  he  was  assigned  an  RE code  of  2C.    He  has  provided  no 
evidence  which  would  lead  us  to  believe  his  entry  level 
separation  was  improper  or  contrary  to  the  provisions  of  the 
governing instruction, or that the RE code was not appropriately 
assigned.    In  view  of  the  foregoing,  and  in  the  absence  of 
evidence  to  the  contrary,  we  conclude  that  no  basis  exists  to 
recommend favorable action on the applicant’s request that his RE 
code of 2C be changed.

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.
