RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00800
IN THE MATTER OF:
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NOT INDICATED
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 4C (Separated for concealment of
juvenile records, minority, failure to meet physical standards
for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as
measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test, or void
enlistments) be changed.
________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged under false pretenses and with his current RE
code, he cannot reenlist unless he has the code changed. He was
discharged because his HIV test came back as a false positive.
When he took the blood test again it came back negative but by
that time he had been discharged. He would like to get back in
because he feels that he could have a long career in the Air
Force.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, issued in conjunction with his 23 Jun 10 discharge and
other supporting documents.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force, on 1 Jun 10,
for a period of six years. He was involuntarily discharged, on
23 Jun 10, for Failed Medical/Physical Procurement Standards
with uncharacterized service. He was credited with 23 days of
active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS defers to the Board on the applicant’s request to
change his RE code of 4C.
Based on a review of the records provided, the applicant entered
the service on 1 Jun 10 and was separated 23 Jun 10. He was
seen at the Reid Clinic, on 15 Jun 10, for follow-up concerning
a positive test result that disqualified him from continued
military service. Because of the positive results, he was
processed for an entry level separation. On 22 Jun 10, the
repeat testing was returned showing a negative result, but
according to the applicant it was too late to stop the
separation processing, and he was separated on 23 Jun 10.
The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends changing the applicant’s RE code to 2C, -
"Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without characterization of service.", This is
the correct code required by AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the
USAF, Chapter 3, based on his entry level separation with
uncharacterized service. The RE code 2C applies to all entry
level separations without characterization of service regardless
of whether the discharge is voluntary or involuntary and RE
codes in the 2# series has priority over all other RE codes.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 1 Jul 11 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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice warranting
corrective action. We took notice of the applicant’s complete
submission, in judging the merits of the case. We note the
recommendation of AFPC/DPSOA to change the applicant’s reentry
code to “2C;” however, based on the review by AETC/SGPS, we note
a repeat test was completed reflecting a negative result
although it appears the applicant had already separated. As
FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY – PRIVACY ACT OF 1974
such, in the interest of justice and based on the totality of
the circumstances surrounding the applicant’s case, we believe
the more appropriate reentry code would be “3K,” which can be
waived to allow reenlistment provided he meets all other
requirements for enlistment under an existing prior service
program. Whether he is successful or will depend on the needs
of the service concerned and our recommendation in no way
guarantees he will be successful in returning to any branch of
the service. Therefore, we recommend his 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 show that on
23 June 2010, he was discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, (Secretarial Authority), with a Separation (SPD) code of
“KFF,” and his reentry code was “3K.”

On 29 Jan 10, the applicant was notified by his commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. Although both AFPC/DPSOA and DPSOS recommend denial of relief DPSOA does note the applicants RE code is in error, and should be 2C; however, based on the review and recommendation provided by AETC/SGPS we believe his RE code should be changed to 3K, which would afford him the opportunity to apply for enlistment in the armed services.
