IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
    
 
______________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  Reentry  (RE)  code  of  2C,  which  denotes  "Involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation 
without  characterization  of  service,"  be  changed  to  allow 
reentry in the military. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He does not believe there is an error or injustice in regards to 
his discharge, but he has grown up a lot and wants to serve his 
country again. 
 
In  support  of  his  request  the  applicant  provides  a  copy  of  DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. 
 
The  applicant's  complete  submission,  with  attachment,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
On 22 Jun 2010, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force. 
 
On  17  Jun  2011,  his  commander  notified  him  he  was  recommending 
his 
36-3208, 
Administrative Separation of Airmen.  His reason for this action 
was  on  24  Jun  2011,  he  self-eliminated  from  the  Special 
Operations  Weather  Course.    In  addition,  he  previously  self-
eliminated  from  the  Pararescue  Apprentice  Course,  received  two 
Letters  of  Counseling  for  not  maintaining  standards,  and  he 
expressed a desire to be discharged. 
 
On  1  Aug  2011,  the  applicant  acknowledged  receipt  of  the 
discharge notification. 
 
On 9 Aug 2011, the Staff Judge Advocate (SJA) reviewed the case 
and found it legally sufficient. 
 
On  10  Aug  2011,  the  discharge  authority  directed  the  applicant 
be  discharged  for  failure  to  progress  in  military  training 

discharge 

under 

required to be qualified for service with the Air Force or for 
performance of primary duties. 
 
On 12 Aug 2011, he received a honorable discharge from the Air 
Force.  The narrative reason for separation was “Unsatisfactory 
Performance.”  He  served  1  year,  1  month  and  21  days  of  total 
active service. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
HQ  AFPC/DPSOA  recommends  denial.    DPSOA  states  the  applicant's 
RE  code  is  appropriate  and  is  required  per  AFI  36-2606, 
Reenlistments  in  the  USAF,  chapter  5,  based  on  his  involuntary 
discharge  with  an  honorable  character  of  service.    He  does  not 
provide  proof  of  an  error  or  injustice  in  reference  to  his  RE 
code, but is asking for a change of RE code to allow reentry. 
 
He self eliminated from two different career fields and received 
two  counseling's  for  not  maintaining  standards.    If  a  military 
recruiter believes he is otherwise eligible, a waiver of the 2C 
would be appropriate. 
 
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
On 30 Apr 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.
