RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02175 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her reentry (RE) code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to allow her to re-enter 
the military. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She entered the military in 2004; she was very young and is not 
sure if her problem was because she was young or if the physical 
training was too much for her. She was put on some medicine for 
panic attacks. She thought the medicine would help, but it did 
not. She did not realize that she was ineligible to enlist until 
she tried to reenlist. 

 

In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty. 

 

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 8 Jun 04. 
The applicant was notified by her commander that he was 
recommending her discharge from the Air Force under the 
provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208, Chapter 5, Section 5B, 
Involuntary Convenience of the Government, paragraph 5.11, 
Conditions that Interfere with Military Service, specifically, 
paragraph 5.11.9, under Mental Disorders. The specific reason 
for this action was her being diagnosed by the Department of 
Mental Health, Wilford Hall Medical Center, as having a mental 
disorder as contained in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of 
Mental Disorders (DSM-IV). After a legal review of the case, the 
Chief of Adverse Actions found it legally sufficient. The 


applicant received an entry-level discharge after serving 1 month 
and 15 days on active duty. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant’s RE 
code was based on her entry-level separation with an 
uncharacterized service. The applicant does not provide any 
proof of an error or injustice in reference to her RE code. 

 

The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant 
on 29 Jul 11 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 injustice. The 
applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we are not 
persuaded the applicant has been the victim of an error or 
injustice. At the time members are separated from the Air Force, 
they are furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of 
their service and circumstances of their separation. After a 
thorough review of the evidence of record, we believe that given 
the circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation, the RE 
code issued was in accordance with the appropriate directives and 
appropriately identified her entry-level separation. Therefore, 
in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon 
which to recommend favorable action on 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.

    Her narrative reason for separation does not have an effect on her RE code, as her RE code is driven by her involuntary discharge and honorable character of service. However, by a majority vote, the Board recommended denial of a change to the reentry code. AFPC/DPSOR has admitted that her discharge reason for separation and the corresponding separation code should be corrected.
