_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment (RE) code of 2C (involuntarily separated with
an honorable discharge, or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to allow him to reenter
military service.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Due to family problems he was unable to focus on his military
training. He requested to be switched to a reserve unit but was
not given any sympathy.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 1 Jun 10, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force. He served as a security forces helper.
On 17 Nov 10, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for entry level
performance or conduct. The specific reason for the discharge
action was the applicant received an Article 15 for failing to
obey an order or regulation (dereliction in the performance of
duties) by stating on 20 Sep 10, that he would not train in the
Security Forces career field.
His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. The
applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification and waived his
right to consult with legal counsel and to submit a statement in
his own behalf.
The legal office reviewed the case and found it legally
sufficient to support separation and recommended the applicant be
furnished an entry level separation.
The discharge authority concurred with the commanders
recommendation and the applicant was furnished an entry level
separation with uncharacterized service on 30 Nov 10. He was
credited with six months of active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial noting the applicant has not
provided any evidence of an error or injustice regarding his RE
code. Per the governing regulation, AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments
in the USAF, the applicant received the appropriate RE code based
him receiving an entry level separation with uncharacterized
service.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He entered the Air Force to serve his country, honor his family,
and to excel in a career that he wanted to be a part of more than
anything. Upon entering technical school he began receiving
numerous calls regarding the issues, health, and problems of his
family. Although, he is a strong individual and can handle
stress, it all began to wear on him. He spoke to his commander
regarding his situation and his commander referred him to the
Active/Guard recruiter. He talked with the recruiter about his
options. He began the paperwork to enlist into the Reserves; but
was unable to meet the requirement of being separated before
continuing with enlisting in the Reserves (Exhibit E).
_________________________________________________________________
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 an injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission, to include his
rebuttal response, in judging the merits of the case; however, we
agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office
of primary responsibility and adopt its 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.
