RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04585
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2C which denotes Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation
without characterization be changed to allow him to reenlist in
the Armed Forces.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged prior to completing 180 days of active duty
service, resulting in uncharacterized service. He was
disqualified for further service for six months and did not have
bad conduct.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty; and AF Form 100, Request and Authorization for Separation.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 11 May 10, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 23 Jul 10, the applicant self-eliminated from the Pararescue
Indoctrination Course. As a result, he was removed from the
course. On 3 Aug 10, the Military Training Flight (MTF)
commander recommended he be eliminated from the PJ/CRO
Indoctrination Course and reclassified in accordance with (IAW)
Air Force policy.
On 6 Aug 10, the Training Group commander approved the
applicants elimination and recommended he be discharged.
On 1 Sep 10, the commander notified the applicant that he was
being discharged from the Air Force for entry-level performance
or conduct under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative
Separation of Airmen. The reason for the proposed action was
the applicants reluctance to make the effort necessary to meet
Air Force Standards of conduct and duty performance. The
applicant acknowledged receipt of the discharge notification and
waived his right to consult with counsel, and to submit a
statement is his own behalf.
On 16 Sep 11, the Assistant Staff Judge Advocate found the case
legally sufficient to support the separation. On 20 Sep 10,
the discharge authority approved the separation.
On 27 Nov 10, the applicant received an uncharacterized entry-
level separation, with a separation code of JGA which denotes
Entry Level Performace or Conduct and was issued an RE code of
2C. He served on active duty for a period of 4 months and
17 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states that based on the
documentation on file in the master personnel records, the
discharge to include the service characterization, was
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence
that an error or injustice occurred in the discharge processing
warranting his return to the Armed Forces.
Since the applicant was only on active duty for 139 days when
the discharge action was initiated he was separated with an
entry-level separation IAW AFI 36-3208. The applicant was
counseled and was afforded the opportunity to overcome his
deficiencies.
Airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service
when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous
active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined if a
member served less than 180 days continuous active service, it
would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize
their limited service. Therefore, his uncharacterized service,
which resulted in the RE code 2C, is correct and in accordance
with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The complete DPSOS 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 12 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has received no
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 an error or injustice. After
careful consideration of the circumstances of this case and the
evidence provided by the applicant, we are not persuaded the
applicant's reentry code is in error or unjust. Therefore, 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 the applicant has not been the victim
of an error or injustice. 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.
