1. His reentry (RE) code of 2C, which denotes “approved 
honorable involuntary separation or entry level separation,” be 
changed.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

the military and lied about it. However, he passed the Military 
Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) and Basic Military Training 
(BMT) with no problem. 

 

2. He is in great physical condition and passed the 
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) physical. 

 

3. The military doctors back home indicated he tested negative 
for any abnormality and it was an isolated incident. 

 

4. He has been seeing medical doctors and was cleared to be 
reinstated; however, upon taking his paperwork to the recruiter; 
he was informed he could not reenlist because of his RE and 
separation codes. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, medical records and letters from his doctors. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 18 Mar 08, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force. 
On 24 Oct 08, the applicant was diagnosed with Noninflammatory 
Myopathy, which existed prior to enlistment. 

 

On 19 Nov 08, the applicant was notified of his commander’s 
intent to recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force 
under the provisions of AFPD 36-32, Air Force Military Training 
and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 
5.14. for Erroneous Enlistment. The applicant acknowledged 
receipt of the notification of discharge, waived his right to 
seek counsel and to submit a statement on his own behalf. 

 

On 26 Nov 08, the case file was determined to be legally 
sufficient to support separation. The discharge authority 
recommended approval of his erroneous enlistment separation. 

 

On 3 Dec 08, the applicant was discharged from the Air Force 
with an Erroneous Entry (other) separation, with an honorable 
character of service, without probation and rehabilitation in 
the grade of airman first class. He served 8 months and 16 days 
of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of his request to change his 
narrative reason and separation code. DPSOS states the 
applicant’s Chronological Record of Medical Care, dated 24 Oct 
08, states he was diagnosed with Noninflammatory Myopathy; a 
condition so severe it prevented continued training. According 
to the medical record, the treating physician’s assistant (with 
the concurrence of the staff physician) concluded his condition 
existed prior to enlistment. Had the Air Force known of this 
condition at the time of his enlistment, he would not have been 
allowed entry in the military. 

 

Based on documentation in the applicant’s master personnel 
records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and 
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and was 
within the discretion of the discharge authority. 

 

The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of his request to change his RE 
code. DPSOA states the applicant’s RE code 2C is required per 
AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air Force, 
chapter 5, based on his involuntary discharge with an honorable 
character of service and the applicant does not prove there was 
an error or injustice in reference to his RE code 2C, he only 
questions his discharge processing which was validated by DPSOS. 

 


 

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 22 Jul 11, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has not received a 
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 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 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. 

 

4. The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
