RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01439
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 allow him to reenter
military service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes it was unjust for him to receive the RE code 2C
because he failed a test.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of a
congressional inquiry.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 17 Nov 09, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 11 Mar 10, his commander notified him that he was recommending
his discharge from the Air Force for entry-level performance or
conduct. The specific reason for the discharge action was his
elimination from training due to failing Block 3, Unit 6, Test
1B, 1C, and 1A.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. On
11 Mar 10, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification
of discharge and, after consulting with counsel, waived his right
to submit statements in his own behalf.
The legal office reviewed the case, found it legally sufficient
to support separation, and recommended an entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service.
On 16 Mar 10, the discharge authority concurred with the
commanders recommendation and the applicant was furnished an
entry-level separation with uncharacterized service on 17 Mar 10.
He was credited with four months and one day of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. Per Air Force Instruction (AFI)
36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, the applicants RE code is
appropriate based on him receiving an entry-level separation with
uncharacterized service.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He is trying to enlist in the Navy and believes he should not be
banned from serving his country for failing a test.
The applicants complete response is at 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 an error or an injustice to warrant
changing the applicants RE code of 2C. The evidence of record
indicates the applicant was given an entry-level separation with
uncharacterized service for entry-level performance or conduct.
After a thorough review of the applicants complete submission
and evidence of record, we find no evidence which would lead us
to believe that his entry-level separation with uncharacterized
service was improper or contrary to the governing instruction
under which it was effected. We also find no evidence the
contested RE code, issued in conjunction with his entry-level
separation, was erroneously assigned or inaccurately reflected
the circumstances of his separation. Notwithstanding the above,
we are persuaded that corrective action is warranted regarding
the applicants narrative reason for separation. This Board has
previously determined in similar cases that where the evidence
appears to clearly indicate the service member was discharged for
performance and not any misconduct, the narrative reason should
be amended by deleting the words or conduct from the narrative
reason for separation. Therefore, in the interest of equity and
justice, we believe the applicants records should be corrected
as indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to the APPLICANT, be corrected to show that Block 28
(Narrative Reason for Separation) on his DD Form 214, Certificate
of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, issued as a result of
his entry-level separation on 17 March 2010, be amended by
deleting the words or conduct.
