RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02146
COUNSEL:
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 a code that would
allow him to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes his record to be unjust. He received minimal
counseling and remedial help for studying for tests and was never
made to realize the full consequences of not performing
satisfactorily academically.
In support of his request, the applicant submits character
reference letters.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 September
2010.
The applicant was notified by his commander on 4 April 2011, of
his intent to recommend his discharge from the Air Force under
the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The specific
reasons follow:
a. On 14 February 2011, 14 March 2011, 15 March 2011,
23 March 2011, the applicant failed to achieve the minimum
passing score on tests from the Security Forces Apprentice
Course. As a result of these failures, the applicant was
disenrolled from the course.
He was advised of his rights in this matter, waived his right to
consult with counsel and elected not to submit statements in his
own behalf. The assistant staff judge advocate found the case
legally sufficient and recommended discharge. The discharge
authority concurred with the recommendation and directed an
honorable discharge. The applicant was discharged on 18 April
2011. He served 6 months and 21 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
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
evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of the
discharge action, nor did the applicant submit any such evidence.
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records the discharge to include the characterization of service
and separation code was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge instruction and was
within the discretion of the discharge authority.
The DPSOS complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states RE code 2C is the
correct code per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, chapter
3, based on his involuntary discharge with honorable character of
service.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states he completed 90 percent of his training and
was awarded the expert marksmanship in weapons. Unfortunately,
he failed his final exam and was forced to take an honorable
discharge. He never received any disciplinary action while in
the Air Force; however, he was immature. He failed to take the
work seriously. He regrets not taking the time to study. He was
informed prior to his discharge that he would be able to reenlist
in six months. He is young, healthy, and strong and desires an
opportunity to reenlist.
The applicants complete response, with attachment, is at Exhibit
F.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an injustice. While the reentry
code assigned to the applicant, at the time, was technically
correct and in accordance with the applicable regulation, we
believe it would be an injustice for the applicant to continue to
suffer its effects. In this respect, after careful review of the
applicant's available military personnel records and the strong
letters of support, we believe he should be afforded the
opportunity to apply for a waiver to enlist in the armed
services. Whether or not he is successful will depend on the
needs of the service and our recommendation in no way guarantees
that he will be allowed to return to the Air Force or any branch
of the service. Accordingly, we recommend his records be
corrected to the extent indicated below.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that at the time of
his discharge on 18 April 2011, he was issued a reentry code of
3K.
