AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 

 
 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-00357 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  reentry  (RE)  code  of  “2C”  (Involuntarily  separated  with  an 
honorable  discharge;  or  entry  level  separation  without 
characterization  of  service)  be  changed  to  a  code  that  would 
allow him to reenlist. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He does not believe the RE code to be in error; however, it does 
deny him reenlistment into the Air Force. 
 
In  support  of  the  applicant’s  appeal,  he  provides  documents 
extracted  from  his  military  personnel  records,  and  a  Southwest 
Florida Public Service Academy training transcript, state officer 
examination test results and a certificate of completion (basic 
law enforcement class). 
 
The  applicant's  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  enlisted  in  the  Regular  Air  Force  on  4  October 
2001. 
 
On 12 June 2003, the applicant was notified by his commander of 
his intent to recommend that he be discharged from the Air Force 
under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208.  The specific 
reasons are as follows: 
 
    a.  On  or  about  17  October  2002,  the  applicant  failed  his 
first Career Development Course (CDC) exam. 
 
    b.  On  or  about  16  January  2003,  the  applicant  failed  his 
second CDC exam. 
 
 

 
 

He was advised of his rights in this matter and after consulting 
with counsel he elected to submit statements on his own behalf.  
In  a  legal  review  of  the  case  file,  the  staff  judge  advocate 
found the case legally sufficient and recommended discharge.  The 
discharge  authority  concurred  with  the  recommendation  and 
directed an honorable discharge.  The applicant was discharged on 
10 July 2003.  He served 1 year, 9 months and 7 days on active 
duty. 
 
Pursuant  to  the  Board's  request,  the  Federal  Bureau  of 
Investigation  (FBI),  Clarksburg,  West  Virginia,  was  unable  to 
identify  with  an  arrest  record  based  on  the  information 
furnished. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSOA  recommends  denial.    DPSOA  states  the  RE  code  2C  is 
required per AFI 36-2606,  Reenlistments  in  the USAF, chapter 3, 
based  on  his  involuntary  discharge  with  honorable  character  of 
service.    The  applicant  does  not  provide  proof  of  an  error  or 
injustice  in  reference  to  his  RE  code;  the  applicant  states  “I 
personally  do  not  believe  the  record  to  be  an  error  but  the 
reentry code denies my reentry back into the U.S. Air Force.” 
 
RE code 2C is the appropriate RE code.   
 
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit D. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
On  26  March  2012,  a  copy  of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days 
(Exhibit E).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.  
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 
 
1.  The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing 
law or regulations. 
 
2.  The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 
 
3.  Insufficient  relevant  evidence  has  been  presented  to 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  an  error  or  injustice.    After  a 
thorough review of the evidence of record, it is our opinion that 
given the circumstances surrounding his separation from the Air 

 

2 
 

Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the 
appropriate  instructions.    In  addition,  the  applicant  has  not 
provided  any  evidence  which  would  lead  us  to  believe  that  a 
change  to  his  RE  code  to  allow  him  to  reenlist  is  warranted.  
Therefore,  we  agree  with  the  Air  Force  office  of  primary 
responsibility  and  adopt  its  rationale  as  the  basis  for  our 
conclusion that 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  the  evidence  presented  did  not 
demonstrate  the  existence  of  an  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  this 
application.
