 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-02948 

 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 applicant’s 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 
commander’s 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 applicant’s 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.
