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 applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s 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 applicant’s involuntary honorable 
discharge. Additionally, the RE code of 2C may be waived to 
permit an applicant’s 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 applicant’s 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 applicant’s 
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 Force’s 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.
