RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02208
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.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His believes personal problems led to his discharge; however,
his has now resolved his problems and would like to reenlist.
In support of his request, the applicant submits a copy of his
DD Form 214 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, issued in conjunction with his 6 Oct 97 separation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force, on 13 Aug 97,
for a period of four years.
On 2 Oct 97, the squadron commander notified the applicant of
administrative discharge action for entry level performance and
conduct. The basis of the discharge was the applicants
1) failure to adapt to the military environment; 2) failure to
make satisfactory progress in a required training program;
3) reluctance to make the effort necessary to meet Air Force
standards of conduct and duty performance, and 4) lack of self-
discipline.
The applicant waived his right to consult with counsel and
submits statements in his own behalf. The discharge authority
approved the entry level separation.
On 6 Oct 97, the applicant received an uncharacterized entry-
level separation, with a reason for separation of entry level
performance and conduct, and was issued an RE code of 2C.
He was credited with 1 month and 24 days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, stating, in part, based on the
documentation on file in the applicants master personnel
record, the discharge, to include the service characterization,
was appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence
or identify any errors or injustices in the discharge
processing, warranting a change to his RE code or his character
of service.
Additionally, they noted that airmen are given entry-level
separation/uncharacterized service characterization when the
separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous
active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined that
if a member served less than 180 days continuous service, it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize
their limited service. The uncharacterized service, which
resulted in the RE code of 2C, is appropriate and in accordance
with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, stating, in part, the applicant
received the RE code of 2C based on his entry level separation,
with uncharacterized service. They note the applicant did not
provide any evidence that supports a correction to his RE code.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 4 Nov 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office
(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. 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
