RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her records be corrected to show she was discharged with a
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of R1 (sic), instead of 2C
(Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without characterization of service).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
When she enlisted in the Regular Air Force (RegAF), retraining was
allowed for those individuals who did not complete their initial
technical training school. She passed her basic course with an
overall 90 percent grade point average (GPA) but could not
complete the final evaluation requirement of presenting briefs.
She has since taken college courses to help her with public
speaking and recently found out when she tried to enlist in the
Air National Guard (ANG) that her RE code of 2C prohibits her
enlisting in any branch of the service.
In support of the appeal, the applicant provides a personal
statement and copies of Certificates of accomplishment, a letter
of recommendation, and an excerpt from her Air Force training
record.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant began her military service in the Regular Air Force
(RegAF) on 20 Jul 10.
On 21 Jun 11, the applicant’s commander notified her of his intent
to recommend her discharge from the Air Force for unsatisfactory
performance, specifically failure to progress in required military
training.
The reason for the action was the applicant’s 15 Jun 11
disenrollment from her operations intelligence apprentice training
course for failure to meet Air Force standards. Further, she was
found ineligible for retraining under Fiscal Year 2011 (FY11)
guidance for Enlisted Initial Skills Rack and Stack as well as the
Second AF Reclassification Guidance which led to the commander’s
recommendation for discharge.
On 22 Jun 11, the case was found legally sufficient and the
discharge authority directed the applicant be discharged.
On 28 Jun 11, the applicant was honorably discharged for
unsatisfactory performance and credited with 11 months and 9 days
of total active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. First, the RE code the applicant
requests, R1, does not exist. It appears the correct RE code she
is requesting is actually 1R (First term airmen selected for
reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)).
Based on Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-2606, Reenlistments in the
USAF, the RE code 2C is required based on her involuntary
discharge with an honorable character of service. Chapter 5 of
AFI 36-2606, Table 5.1, Item 7, expressly forbids using RE code 1R
as a viable RE code. Further, 1R is reserved for use under the
SRP and the applicant was not considered under the SRP.
While the RE Code 2C is, in fact, waiverable by the services,
should the Board decide to change her RE code then it should be
changed to 3K (Reserved for use by AFPC or the AFBCMR when no
other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is appropriate).
RE code 3K also requires a waiver from the Recruiting Services for
reentry consideration.
DPSOA’s complete 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 30 Mar 12 for review and comment within 30 days. 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
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 that 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.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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 this application.
