RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03631
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reentry (RE) Code of 2C (Entry Level Performance or Conduct)
be changed so she can apply to the U.S. Navy.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her dream has always been to serve in the military. She
prepared for military service by completing three years of Navy
Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) in high school.
She made it through half of Tech School, and after flunking a
test for the second time, was shocked, horrified, and
heartbroken to find out she was being discharged. She believes
the RE code of 2C is too harsh to give to someone discharged for
academic reasons.
In support of her request, the applicant provides an expanded
statement and copies of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release
or Discharge from Active Duty, and information from her high
school NJROTC Program.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Air Force on 2 Nov 10.
On 24 Mar 11, the applicants commander notified her of his
intent to discharge her from the Air Force with an entry-level
separation (ELS) for failure to make satisfactory progress in a
required training program. The separation recommendation was
based on the fact that on or about 20 Jan 11, the applicant
failed the Block I, Version A Test of the Logistics Plans
Apprentice Course with a score of 50 percent, when a minimum
passing score was 70 percent. After washing back and receiving
Special Individualized Assistance, on or about 24 Feb 11, she
failed the Block 1, Version B Test with a score of 60 percent,
and was eliminated from the course.
On 29 Mar 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action
and waived her right to consult counsel and to submit a
statement. On 30 Mar 11, the case was determined to be legally
sufficient and, on 31 Mar 11, the discharge authority concurred
with the commanders recommendation, directing the applicant be
discharged. On 7 Apr 11, the applicant was furnished an ELS
with uncharacterized service and an RE Code of 2C, after serving
five months and six days of active service.
Airmen are given an ELS with uncharacterized service when
separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous
active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize a
members limited service when separation is initiated within the
first 180 days of active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. The applicant does not provide any
evidence that supports a correction of her RE code. The RE code
of 2C with uncharacterized service is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, Chapter 3, based on her ELS. Her
desire to reenter the military is noted, however, each component
of the military decides what conditions and RE codes they will
or will not accept for prior service members, which may change
over time. A waiver from the recruiting service (if they deem
it appropriate) would be more appropriate than circumventing the
screening process by changing the RE code based on members
desire to reenter the military.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 4 Nov 11 for review and comment within 30 days. As
of this date, no response has been received by this office
(Exhibit D).
________________________________________________________________
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. 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 office of primary responsibility
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion
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.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
applicant was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with the
application.
