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 applicant’s 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 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. 

 

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 applicant’s 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...
