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.
