RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00481
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His narrative reason for separation of Unsatisfactory
Performance be changed.
2. His 2C reentry (RE) code (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to allow his
reenlistment.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He has no disciplinary reasons for separation and his referenced
codes are preventing him from reentering the military.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants records reflect that he enlisted in the Regular
Air Force on 19 Jan 10 for a period of four years. 21 Oct 10, he
was notified of his commander's intent to recommend him for
unsatisfactory duty performance. The specific reason for the
proposed discharge was that he failed to perform his assigned
duties by not making satisfactory progress in the Aerospace
maintenance Apprentice course. Due to the failures, he was
disenrolled from technical training on 16 Sep 10.
The applicant was advised of his right to consult with counsel
and submit statements in his own behalf. The discharge case was
reviewed by the base legal office and they recommended the
applicant receive an honorable discharge. The discharge
authority approved the separation and directed the applicant be
discharged with an honorable discharge.
On 26 Oct 10, he was honorably discharged from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, for Unsatisfactory Performance. He served a total of
nine months and eight days of active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states they found no
evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of the
discharge action. Based on the documentation on file in the
master personnel records, the discharge, to include the narrative
reason for separation was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the RE code 2C is the
appropriate RE code in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments
in the USAF, based on the applicants involuntary honorable
discharge. Additionally, the RE code of 2C may be waived to
permit an applicants enlistment; however, that does not mean
that everyone with a 2C RE code will get a waiver processed as
recruiting services will make such a determination based on the
needs of the Air Force.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATIONS:
He was set up for failure by the Air Force. Despite repeatedly
indicating that he sufferred from attention deficit disorder
(ADD) and a non-verbal learning disability (NLD), he was entered
into an Air Force Specialty Code that was too technical despite
requesting to be reclassified. Additionally, despite the
assertion of the Air Force advisory writers, his current RE code
is not waiverable and is preventing him from enlisting in another
service
The applicants complete response, with attachment, is at
Exhibit F.
_________________________________________________________________
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, to include his response
to the advisory opinions, 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. We note the applicants
assertion in response to the Air Force advisory that he was set
up for failure by the Air Force when they classified him into a
technical career field despite his documented learning
disability. However, other than his own assertions, he has
provided no evidence to indicate the Air Forces actions with
respect to his classification or ultimate separation were
erroneous or unjust. 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 is notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
