RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02001
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
the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE code prevents him from joining the Air National Guard
(ANG).
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of his DD
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty;
and an AF IMT Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant is a former member of the Regular Air Force who
served in the grade of airman basic (E-1). On 10 March 2010, the
applicant was academically eliminated from the Air Traffic
Control Apprentice Course. Specifically, he failed Block II test
with a score of 62 percent. After retesting, he failed the Block
II test a second time with a score of 56 percent.
On 29 March 2010, the commander recommended the applicant be
involuntarily discharged for failure to make satisfactory
progress in a required training program. He was honorably
discharged effective 7 April 2010 for unsatisfactory performance
with an RE code of 2C.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force at Exhibits C and D.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS and DPSOA reviewed this application and recommend
denial. DPSOS states the applicants discharge was based on his
unsatisfactory progress in training due to his academic
elimination from technical training school. He was given ample
opportunity to improve his academic performance and was counseled
on several occasions regarding his academic deficiencies. During
a counseling session on 8 March 2010, the applicant made it clear
that he disliked the Air Traffic Control career field, as well as
being a member of the Air Force. He indicated he was no longer
motivated to continue training. The two test failures were
evidence of his lack of motivation. The discharge record reveals
he was counseled and afforded an opportunity to improve his
performance, but was met with negative results.
DPSOS indicates they found no evidence of an error or injustice
in the processing of the applicants discharge action, nor did
the applicant submit any such evidence. Based on the
documentation on file in his master personnel records, the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
DPSOA states the applicants RE code of 2C is correct per Air
Force Instruction 36-2606, Chapter 3, based on his involuntary
discharge with an honorable character of service.
Complete copies of the DPSOS and DPSOA evaluations are at
Exhibits C and D, respectively.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant
on 9 September 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 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 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 opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their 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.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
