RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01544 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reenlistment (RE) code of “2C” (involuntarily separated with 
an honorable discharge, or entry-level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to a “4” to allow him to 
reenter military service. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He did not violate any of the rules or regulations of the Air 
Force. He tried out for a position in Special Operations Combat 
Control and was unable to meet the demands of the rigorous 
training program. Instead of being reclassified into a different 
air force specialty code (AFSC), he was discharged and given a 
reentry code that makes him ineligible to return to the military 
without a waiver. 

 

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

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 22 Jun 10, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the 
Regular Air Force. 

 

On 21 Sep 10, the applicant’s 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 the applicant’s self-eliminated from the Combat 
Control Selection Course. 

 

His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. On 
22 Sep 10, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification 
and waived his right to consult with legal counsel or to submit a 
statement in his own behalf. 


 

The legal office reviewed the case and found it legally 
sufficient to support separation and recommended the applicant be 
furnished an entry-level separation. 

 

The discharge authority concurred with the commander’s 
recommendation and the applicant was furnished an entry-level 
separation with uncharacterized service on 6 Oct 10. He was 
credited with three months and six days of total active service. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial noting the applicant has not 
provided any evidence of an error or injustice regarding his RE 
code. Per the governing regulation, AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments 
in the USAF, the applicant received the appropriate RE code based 
him receiving an entry-level separation with uncharacterized 
service. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 17 Jun 11, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit D). 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
and adopt its 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.
