COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His reentry (RE) code of 2C which denotes (Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge) be changed to allow his
reentry into the military.
2. His narrative reason for separation (Unsatisfactory
Performance) be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His performance was outstanding, but he failed academically.
His original contract was voided after he was eliminated from the
3C231 (Communication-Computer Systems Control) specialty. He was
reclassified into 3P011 (Security Forces); he had no desire to
serve in the 3P011 career filed, and as a result he failed his
exams.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 26 Jan 10, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of six years, as a Security Forces Helper.
On 19 Aug 10, the applicant was notified by his squadron
commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air
Force for unsatisfactory duty performance, for failure to
progress in military training. The reasons for the proposed
action were:
1) On 3 Jun 10, he failed Block I, Unit 6, Test 1C with a
score of 60 percent; the minimum passing score was 70 percent.
As a result, he was counseled, received two hours of Special
Individual Assistance (SIA), and retested.
2) On 8 Jul 10, he failed Block I, Unit 34, Test 4C with a
score of 57 percent; the minimum passing score was 70 percent.
As a result, he was counseled, received two hours of SIA, and
retested.
3) On 15 Jul 10, he failed Block I, Unit 34, Test 4A with a
score of 60 percent, the minimum passing score was 70 percent.
As a result, he was eliminated from the course.
5) On 19 Aug 10, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and waived his right to consult legal
counsel and submit statements in his own behalf.
The base legal office found the case legally sufficient to
support the separation, and on 3 Sep 10, the discharge authority
approved the separation and directed an honorable discharge.
On 8 Sep 10, the applicant was discharged by reason of
unsatisfactory performance, and issued an RE code of 2C. He
served on active duty for a period of 7 months and 13 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of his request to change his
narrative reason for separation. DPSOS states the applicant
received counseling on several occasions and was afforded ample
opportunity to overcome his deficiencies. DPSOS found no 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 characterization of service
and separation code was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant
did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of his request to change his RE
code. DPSOA states the applicants RE code is correct based on
his involuntary separation with an honorable characterization of
service. The applicant did not provide any supporting evidence
of an error or injustice that would warrant a change in his RE
code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 Jul 11, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date,
a response has not been received (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. 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 and adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an 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.
