RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04816
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code (RE) code of 2C, which denotes, Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service," be changed to something
more suitable for re-enlistment in the Air National Guard (ANG).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He would like to join the ANG, however his RE code is preventing
his enlistment.
He has been cited for unfit Air Force Standards, however he has
a passing Fitness Assessment (FA) score.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his
FA score sheet from the Air Force Fitness Management System
(AFFMS).
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 11 Dec 1996.
On 26 Jul 2011, 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
Airman, for failure to meet minimum fitness standards. The
reason for this action is he failed five fitness assessments
within a 24-month period. Further, the commander determined
that he failed to demonstrate significant improvement in his
overall fitness level despite the applicable reconditioning
periods. Finally, a medical provider found that he did not
have a medical condition precluding him from achieving a passing
score on the FA.
On 26 Jul 2011, the applicant acknowledged the Discharge
Notification.
On 22 Sep 2011, an administrative discharge board heard the
applicants case and recommended he be separated from the Air
Force, but receive probation and rehabilitation (P&R).
On 27 Oct 2011, the discharge authority disapproved the boards
recommendation for P&R and directed the applicant be separated
with an honorable characterization, without P&R. However, the
execution of the discharge was held in abeyance until completion
of a physical examination showing the applicant was medically
qualified for worldwide duty.
On 3 Nov 2011, he was involuntarily separated with an honorable
discharge and an RE code of 2C. He served 14 years, 10 months,
and 23 days of service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states, the applicant's
RE code 2C is required in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air Force, chapter 3, and is
based on his involuntary discharge with a honorable character of
service.
The applicant does not provide proof of an error or injustice in
reference to his RE code. His contentions are with his
discharge for physical standards, not his RE code 2C, which is
driven by the involuntary discharge with honorable character of
service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 24 Jan 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant 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 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 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 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.
