 RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01782 

 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Re-entry (RE) code “4C” “Approved Involuntary Separation for 
Concealment /Physical Standards/Less than 9.0 RGL,” be changed 
due to him being misdiagnosed with “anaphylaxis to tree nuts.” 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He has had no history or episodes of anaphylaxis before, during 
or after military service. His post service testing by a 
civilian doctor disproves military medical diagnosis. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of a 
consultation and medical exam from his primary care provider, 
his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation, and 
copies of separation documents from his military personnel 
records (MPR). 

 

His complete submission, with attachments, is at exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 8 June 2010. 

 

On 6 July 2010, his commander notified him that he was 
recommending him for discharge under the provisions of Air Force 
Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and 
Separations and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3208 Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section C, 
Defective Enlistments. Specifically, the applicant did not meet 
the medical requirements to enlist. 

 

On 6 July 2010, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the 
commander’s intent to discharge him and waived his right to 
consult counsel and submit statements on his own behalf. 
Subsequent to the file being found legally sufficient the 


discharge authority approved the recommendation and directed 
that the applicant be discharged with an entry-level separation. 
The applicant was discharged effective 9 July 2010 with an entry 
level separation and “Uncharacterized” service. He was credited 
with serving 1 month and 2 days on active duty. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AETC/SGPS recommends denial. SGPS states the applicant does not 
indicate what code he would like, or what he wants to do. The 
applicant did not request a HQ AETC/SGPS waiver as he felt he 
needed to be at home. SGPS finds that at the time the 
separation was done it was in accordance with established policy 
and administrative procedures. Since the applicant does not 
meet medical criteria for military duty, they do not support a 
change to his RE code. 

 

The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends correction of RE code. DPSOA states the 
applicant received an erroneous RE code on his DD 214. His 
correct RE code is 2C, “Involuntarily Separated with an 
Honorable Character of Service; or Entry Level Separation 
without Characterization of Service.” The RE code 2C applies to 
all entry level separations without characterization of service 
regardless of whether the discharge was voluntary or 
involuntary. AFPC/DPSOY will provide applicant a corrected 
copy of his DD Form 214 with RE code of 2C, unless otherwise 
directed by the Board. 

 

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 5 October 2011 for review and comment within 30 
days. 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 an error or injustice that would 


warrant action by the Board. We note AFPC/DPSOA indicates the 
applicant’s currently assigned RE code of “4C” is incorrect and 
that they will administratively correct the RE code to reflect 
“2C” unless advised otherwise by this Board. Since the 
applicant has not responded to the Air Force advisory indicating 
an objection to the administrative correction, we concur with 
the administrative correction proposed by the Air Force OPR. 
Therefore, there is no basis for the Board to take further 
action on the applicant’s request. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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.
