RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04885 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Reentry (RE) Code of 2C on his DD Form 214, Certificate of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He self-eliminated from the Aircrew Fundamentals/Basic 
Loadmaster Course (AFBLC) and was not afforded the opportunity 
to retrain. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant entered the Air Force on 26 Jul 11. 

 

On 20 Oct 11, he requested self-elimination from the Aircrew 
Fundamentals/Basic Loadmaster Course (AFBLC) for the following 
reasons: 

 

 a. Inadequate knowledge of, and not suited for, aircrew 
responsibilities. 

 

 b. Not suited for direct military lifestyle. 

 

In addition, his commander made the following entry onto AETC 
Form 125A, Record of Administrative Training Action, the 
applicant “stated due to personal reasons, he has lost all 
motivation to become a Career Enlisted Aviator or to remain in 
the USAF.” 

 

On 13 Nov 11, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was 
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for entry-level 


performance or conduct, specifically reluctance to make the 
effort necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty 
performance. The reason for the action was his self-elimination 
from the AFBLC. The applicant waived his right to consult with 
counsel or to submit a statement on his own behalf. 

 

On 14 Nov 11, his commander recommended he be discharged, and 
did not recommend he be reclassified because he lacked the 
aptitude and motivation to successfully complete training or 
have a successful Air Force career. 

 

On 16 Nov 11, the case was determined to be legally sufficient, 
and the discharge authority directed the applicant be 
administratively separated on 17 Nov 11. On 18 Nov 11, the 
applicant was furnished an entry-level separation with 
uncharacterized service and was credited with 3 months and 
23 days of active service. 

 

Airmen are given entry-level separation 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 member’s limited service when separation is 
initiated within the first 180 days of active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR) which is attached at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 his RE code. The RE Code 
of 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, 
Chapter 3, based on his entry-level separation with 
uncharacterized service. 

 

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 10 Feb 12 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 
application 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.
