RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02467
COUNSEL: NO
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 a code that would
allow her to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She desires to reenlist.
In support of her request, the applicant submits a copy of her
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 10 August
2010.
The applicant was notified by her commander on 4 April 2011, of
his intent to recommend her discharge from the Air Force under
the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The specific
reason was the applicants failure to perform her assigned duties
by not making satisfactory progress in the Aerospace Medical
Service Apprentice (Phase I) course. Specifically, she failed
the National Registry Emergency Medical Technician written exam
four times. As a result of these multiple failures, she was
disenrolled from technical training on 7 February 2011. Prior to
disenrollment, she was washed back two times, received 39 hours
of additional instruction and counseling, and attended classes at
the wing Learning and Development Center. These efforts failed
to produce positive results.
She was advised of her rights in this matter and waived her right
to consult with counsel and elected not to submit statements on
her own behalf. In a legal review of the case file, 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 8 April 2011. She served 7 months
and 29 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge, to include the narrative reason for separation, 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 that the applicants
RE code 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the
USAF, chapter 3, based on her involuntary discharge with
honorable character of service. The applicant does not provide
any evidence of an error or injustice, but only states she wants
to join the ANG and the RE code 2C is preventing her from
joining.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 November 2011, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice. After a
thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air
Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a change
to her RE code to allow her to reenlist is warranted. Therefore,
we agree with 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. In the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of an 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.
