RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02716
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
1. His Entry Level Separation (ELS) be changed from
uncharacterized to honorable.
2. His Reentry (RE) Code of 2C (Entry Level Performance or
Conduct) be changed so he can apply to the Navy.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not have a record of poor conduct or misbehavior; he
chose separation after failing Pararescue Indoctrination
Training because he wanted his personal choice of a career. His
uncharacterized service and the 2C RE Code on his DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, are
unjustly preventing him from enlisting in the Navy.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Air Force on 22 Jun 2010.
The applicants 31 Aug 2010 student training report states
Student did not meet minimum course entry requirements IAW
revised PGM 243 dated 11 Jul 09. The Day 1 PAST is the fourth
programmed time the student has taken this test. Student failed
the swim, sit-ups portions of the test. Declines setback and
re-attempt; not recommended for reinstatement. Eliminate and
process IAW AF needs. Airman had a positive attitude, worked
diligently to get the job done, and displayed good customs and
courtesies.
On 18 Oct 2010, the applicant signed a memo stating I chose to
self-eliminate from Pararescue training because at this time I
do not feel I am physically prepared for this career field. At
this point, I need time to prepare myself to continue in
Pararescue training. I make this decision of my own free will
and without coercion.
On 22 Oct 10, the applicants commander notified him of his
intent to discharge him from the Air Force for entry level
performance or conduct, specifically for his reluctance to make
the effort necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct or
duty performance. The reason for the action was that on
18 Oct 10, the applicant self-eliminated from the Pararescue
Indoctrination Course.
On 25 Oct 10, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action
and waived his right to legal counsel or to submit statements in
his behalf.
On 27 Oct 10, the case was found to be legally sufficient and
the discharge authority concurred with the commanders
recommendation the next day.
On 3 Nov 10, the applicant was furnished an entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service and was credited with
4 months and 12 days of total active service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letters prepared by the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility (OPR) which are attached at Exhibits C
and D.
