RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01148
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE) 2C (involuntary separation with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to allow him to enter
into the Air Force Reserves.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While in Basic Military Training he had problems at home. He
made a big mistake by getting out of the Air Force. He now
realizes that mistake and would like to come back into the Air
Force.
His childhood was like most, his parents divorced and his
relationship with his father deteriorated. He spent a lot of
time with his grandparents. His mother remarried his
stepfather, who took him in as his own and became a lifeline to
him.
He has been through a lot of trials and tribulations, but hopes
the Board will help him get back into the Air Force so that he
can achieve his goals.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 April 2009, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air
Force.
On 11 June 2009, he was notified of his commanders intent to
separate him from the Air Force for a condition that interferes
with military service; specifically, mental disorder. On
11 June 2011, the applicant acknowledged his commanders intent
to discharge him. He also acknowledged his right to counsel and
to submit matters on his behalf: he declined both rights. On
12 June 2009, the case was found legally sufficient.
On 15 June 2009, the applicant was discharged under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 Military Separations and Retirements
and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen,
Involuntary Convenience of the Government for conditions that
interfere with military service: mental disorders. His type of
separation was entry level, his service was uncharacterized. He
received a reentry code of 2C. He was credited with serving 1
month and 19 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states airmen are given
entry level separations with uncharacterized service when their
separation is initiated within the first 180 days of consecutive
service. The discharge to include the characterization were
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. Additionally, there is no evidence of
error or injustice with the processing of this discharge.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states RE code 2C is
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on
his entry level separation and uncharacterized service.
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 26 August 2011, for review and comment within 30
days (Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has received no
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 applicants 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.
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.

The correct character of service is uncharacterized and the correct narrative reason for separation is conditions not a disability. Uncharacterized service is appropriate in the applicants case because the separation action was initiated within the first 180 days of continuous active service. The DD Form 214 lists the correct separation code as JFV, which coincides with the narrative reason: conditions, not a disability. Unless the board directs otherwise, AFPC will...
