AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01205
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to a code that would
allow him to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was under the impression from his recruiter that he had a
guaranteed job as a Fire Fighter; however, during basic training
he was given medical technician as a career field. He failed the
national registry and was discharged.
In support of his request, the applicant submits documents
extracted from his military personnel records.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 November
2009.
The applicant was notified by his commander on 14 May 2010 of his
intent to recommend his discharge from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The specific reasons
were the applicants failure to perform his assigned duties by
not making satisfactory progress in the Aerospace Medical Service
Apprentice Course. Specifically, he failed the National Registry
Emergency Medical Technician written exam four times. As a
result of these failures, he was disenrolled from the course.
Prior to disenrollment he was washed back three times, he
received 47 hours of additional instruction and counseling and he
attended classes at the Wing Learning and Development Center.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and after consulting
with counsel he elected not to submit statements on his own
behalf. In a legal review of the case file, the assistant staff
judge advocate found the case legally sufficient and recommended
discharge. The discharge authority concurred with the
recommendation and directed an honorable discharge. The
applicant was discharged on 28 May 2010. He served 6 months and
20 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states RE code 2C is
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, chapter 3,
based on his involuntary discharge with honorable character of
service and the applicant has failed to demonstrate any error or
injustice. It is up to each military components recruiting
services to determine what RE codes they will or will not waive.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he believes he was led astray by his
recruiter. He desires to reenlist in the service.
The applicants complete response 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 an error or an injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, the majority of the Board agrees
with the opinion and the recommendation of the Air Force office
of primary responsibility and adopts its rationale as the basis
for its conclusion the applicant has failed to sustain his burden
of proof of the existence of an error or injustice. Therefore,
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the majority of the
Board finds no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in
this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The majority of the panel finds insufficient evidence of error or
injustice and recommends the application be denied.
