AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-00923
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 RE code 1 series
that would allow him to reenlist.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged because he failed academically. He desires a
second chance to complete his full term commitment.
In support of the applicant’s appeal, he provides a character
reference letter.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 26 April 2011.
On 20 August 2011, 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
reason was on or about 3 August 2011, the applicant was
academically eliminated from the Information Technology
Fundamentals maintenance portion of the cyber Transport systems
apprentice course as documented on AETC Form 125A. Specifically,
he failed the block I and block II tests with scores of 63% and
53%.
He was advised of his rights in this matter and elected not to
consult with counsel and elected to waive his right to submit a
statement on his own behalf. The discharge authority concurred
with the recommendation and directed an entry level separation.
The applicant was discharged on 19 August 2011. He served
3 months and 24 days on active duty.
_________________________________________________________________
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 entry level separation with uncharacterized
character of service. The RE code 2C applies to all entry level
separations without characterizations of service regardless of
whether the discharge is voluntary or involuntary.
A waiver by recruiting services if military medical personnel
determine applicant meets reentry criteria would be more
appropriate than changing applicant’s RE code from the correct
code of 2C. A waiver of the RE code would identify prior
circumstances for screening instead of circumventing aspects of
his prior service. The applicant requested a RE code in the
1 series; however, he is not eligible for any 1 RE codes as they
do not apply to him.
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 30 May 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded
to the applicant for review and response within 30 days (Exhibit
D). 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 timely filed.
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
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 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.

_________________________________________________________________
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.
