RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01940
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His reentry (RE) code of 2C which denotes Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge be changed so that he can
serve in the Air National Guard (ANG).
2. His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, be corrected to reflect he was awarded the Air Force
Outstanding Unit Award (AFOUA). (Entitlement verified will be
administratively corrected)
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He failed his career development courses (CDCs) over 11 years
ago. He was young and it was his first time away from home; he
made some poor choices and did not study as he should have. He
was a good airman and never got into any trouble.
He is very grateful for the honorable discharge, but would like
to serve again in the ANG. He has two brothers who serve in the
Air Force and would like to serve with them.
In support of his request, the applicant provides letters of
support from his employer and two brothers.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 4 Feb 98, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of four years, as a Supply Management Apprentice.
On 13 Mar 00, the applicant was notified by his squadron
commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air
Force for unsatisfactory duty performance due to his failure to
progress in on-the-job training. The reason for the proposed
action was the applicant failed his CDC end of course (EOD)
examination on two occasions with scores of 61 and
64 respectively; the minimum passing score was 65.
On 13 Mar 00, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and waived his right to consult legal
counsel and submit statements in his own behalf.
The base legal office found the case legally sufficient to
support the separation, and on 23 Mar 00, the discharge authority
approved the separation and directed an honorable discharge.
On 24 Mar 00, the applicant was discharged by reason of
unsatisfactory performance, and received an RE code of 2C. He
served on active duty for a period of 2 years, 1 month and
20 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states the applicant
received counseling on several occasions and was afforded ample
opportunity to overcome his deficiencies. DPSOS found no error
or injustice in the processing of the discharge action.
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records, the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant
did not submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
code 2C is correct based on his involuntary separation with an
honorable characterization of service. Each component of the
military decides which RE codes they will or will not waive if a
prior service member is otherwise eligible. These policies are
governed by recruiting services and may change over time. At
this time, RE code 2C is a waiverable code under the Air Force
prior service program; however, this does not mean everyone with
a RE code of 2C will be granted a waiver.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 2 Dec 11, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date,
a response has not been received (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
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. No
evidence has been provided to reflect he was not treated fairly
and properly by the Air Force and all procedures were followed.
Absent persuasive evidence the applicant was denied rights to
which entitled, appropriate regulations were not followed, or
appropriate standards were not applied, we find no basis to
change his RE code. Therefore, aside from the administrative
correction noted above, we find no basis upon which to recommend
further relief in this case.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
