AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 

 
 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-00934 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 
 
His  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 him to reenlist. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
His entire enlistment was not dishonorable.  He does acknowledge 
that  all  of  his  actions  were  not  carefully  considered.    He 
desires a chance to bring honor to his country and his family. 
 
In  support  of  the  applicant’s  appeal,  he  provides  a  personal 
statement  and  documents  extracted  from  his  military  personnel 
records. 
 
The  applicant's  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 17 March 2009. 
 
On 29 March 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 
reasons are as follows: 
 
    a.  Between  on  or  about  23  April  2010  and  10  February 
2011 the applicant received numerous Letters of Counseling (LOCs) 
regarding  his  negative  attitude  and  conduct,  speeding  in  base 
housing,  and  for  failing  to  report  for  duty  at  the  appointed 
time. 
 
    b.  On or about 9 January 2011, the applicant did assault an 
airman  by  loading  a  magazine  in  his  M4  rifle,  pulling  the 
charging handle to the rear, and placing his weapon on fire, for 
the purpose of scaring the airman. 
 
 
 

    c.  On or about 8 July 2010 and 26 January 2011 the applicant 
received two Letters of Reprimand (LORs) for being in violation 
of  AFI  36-2903,  Dress  and  Personal  Appearance  of  Air  Force 
Personnel  and  for  failing  to  report  an  accident  that  occurred 
while he was driving a leased vehicle after being told to do so. 
 
He was advised of his rights in this matter and elected to submit 
a  statement  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  a  general  discharge.    The 
applicant was discharged on 26 April 2011.  He served 2 years, 
1 month and 10 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 his involuntary discharge with general (under honorable 
conditions)  character  of  service.    The  applicant’s  discharge 
stemmed  from  his  own  actions  to  include  six  infractions  which 
lead to 3 LOCs, 2 LORs, and an Article 15.  The applicant does 
not provide any proof of an error or injustice in reference to 
his RE code 2B.  RE code 2B is correct per his general discharge. 
 
The DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
The applicant states he regrets the bad choices he made while in 
the  military;  however,  he  is  a  changed  man.    He  now  has  a 
stronger  relationship  with  his  wife  and  church  family      He 
desires to reenlist. 
 
The  applicant’s  complete  response,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit E. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
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, we believe that given 

 

2 
 

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  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.
