RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00649
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reentry (RE) code of “2B” (Involuntarily separated with a
general or under other than honorable conditions discharge) be
changed to a code that would allow her to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Her RE code has denied her reentry into military service.
The applicant provides no documentation in support of her appeal.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 6 June 2006.
On 6 March 2008, the applicant was notified by her commander of
his intent to recommend that she be discharged from the Air Force
under the provisions of AFPD 36-32 and AFI 36-3208. The specific
reasons are as follows:
a. Between on or about 8 December 2006 and 20 January 2008,
the applicant received two Article 15s for failing to obey an
order and for being AWOL.
b. Between on or about 12 October 2007 and 31 October 2007,
the applicant received two Letters of Counseling for failing to
attend a mandatory scheduled dental appointment and for failing
to correct her faddish hair color after being told to do so on
numerous occasions.
c. Between on or about 15 November 2007 and 18 December
2007, the applicant received two Letters of Reprimand (LORs) for
failing to wear the appropriate USAF mandated physical fitness
uniform to a scheduled PT test, as she was instructed to do and
for utilizing her personal cell phone while assigned to a post
after being briefed at guardmount numerous times that cell phones
are prohibited while on post. Additionally, she was seen by
personnel with her eyes closed and head leaning against the
driver’s window, while on post.
She was advised of her rights in this matter and elected to
submit a statement on her 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 a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge. The applicant was discharged on
18 March 2008. She served 1 year, 9 months and 14 days on active
duty.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the RE code 2B is
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, chapter 3,
based on her involuntary discharge with a general (under
honorable conditions) character of service. The applicant’s
discharge stemmed from her own actions with the seven infractions
to include two Article 15s being listed in her discharge package.
The applicant has not provided any proof of an error or injustice
in reference to her RE code 2B. RE code 2B is correct per her
general discharge.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 12 April 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response 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. 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 her separation from the Air
Force, the RE code assigned was proper and in compliance with the
2
appropriate instructions. In addition, the applicant has not
provided any evidence which would lead us to believe that a
change to her RE code is warranted. Therefore, we agree with 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.
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 issues 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 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.
