ECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-03997
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) Code be changed from a 2C, which denotes
Involuntary separation with honorable discharge; or entry level
separation without characterization of service, to one that
will allow him to reenlist.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The RE code is unjust because it prevents him from serving his
country in the Georgia Air National Guard.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Dec 10, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 12 May 11, the applicant was notified by his commander that
he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen. He recommended entry level separation, specifically for
failure to make satisfactory progress in a required training
program. The specific reasons for this action were:
On 7 Mar 11, Day of Training (DOT) 1, he failed the push-up
portion of the Physical Aptitude and Stamina Test (PAST). He
completed 40 push-ups; the minimum completion was 45 push-ups.
As a result of the failure he was washed back in training.
On 18 Apr 11, DOT 1, he failed the mile and a half run. His
run time was 10 minutes, 59 seconds. The maximum allowable time
was 10 minutes, 45 seconds. This was his second failure;
therefore, he was eliminated from training.
On 12 May 11, the applicant acknowledged the discharge
notification, waived his right to counsel, and waived his right
to submit statements.
On 13 May 11, the case was found legally sufficient and on
17 May 11, the commander directed the applicant be separated.
On 20 May 11, he received an entry level separation, with an
uncharacterized character of service. He served 4 months and
23 days total active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his character of service and separation code. DPSOS
states that IAW AFI 36-3208, airmen are in entry level status
during the first 180 days of continuous active military service
or the first 180 days of continuous active military service
after a break of more than 92 days of active service. Entry
level separations are determined when the commander initiates
separation action. The commander, in this case, initiated
separation action on 12 May 11, which gave the applicant
143 days of active duty at the time of separation. The
discharge was appropriately administered and within the
discretion of the discharge authority.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his RE code. DPSOA states RE code 2C is required per AFI
36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air Force, based on
his entry level separation with an uncharacterized character of
service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 10 Feb 12, copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded
to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, no response has been received by this office (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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility and adopt their 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 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.
