________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Re-entry (RE) code of 2C (Approved Honorable Involuntary
Separation or Entry Level Separation) be changed to allow him to
re-enlist in the Air Force.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The test was unfair. The test was changed but the Career
Development Courses (CDCs) were not changed to match the test.
The test taking techniques taught to him were ineffective
because the test was changed
In support of his request, the applicant provides a personal
statement.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on
11 December 2007.
On 2 September 2009, his commander notified him that he was
recommending him for discharge under the provisions of Air Force
Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and
Separations and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3208 Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5.26.3.
Specifically, the applicant failed to progress in military
training required to be qualified for service with the Air Force
or for performance of primary duty.
On 2 September 2009, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
commanders intent to discharge him and opted to consult counsel
but waived his right to submit statements on his behalf.
Subsequent to the file being found legally sufficient the
discharge authority approved the recommendation and directed
that the applicant be discharged with an honorable character of
service.
The applicant was discharged effective 18 September 2009 with an
honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation. He was
credited with serving 1 year, 9 months, and 8 days of 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. They found no error
or injustice in the processing of the discharge action. Based
on the documentation on file in his master personnel records,
the discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not
submit any evidence or identify any errors or injustices that
occurred in the discharge processing. He provided no facts
warranting a change to his RE code or narrative reason for
separation.
The complete AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
Code 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF,
chapter 3, based on his involuntary discharge with honorable
character of service. The applicant states he wants back in the
military and that his test was unfair, but does not provide any
proof of an error or injustice in reference to his RE code.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 9 December 2011 for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, this office has not received a
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation
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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issue(s)
involved. Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
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.
