AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01029
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her separation (SPD) code “HDG” (involuntary convenience of the
Government) and her reentry (RE) code “2C” (involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service) be changed to allow her to
enter the Air National Guard (ANG).
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
At the time she was discharged from the Air Force, she had a
young son. Both her and her husband were active duty and were
unable to provide long term care for their son in the event they
were deployed at the same time.
The problem no longer exists as both of her sons are active duty
and serving in the Marine Corps. She would like her SPD and RE
codes changed to render her eligible to enter the ANG.
The applicant provides no supporting documentation.
The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 10 June 1986.
On 12 May 1992, the applicant was notified of her commander’s
intent to discharge her from the Air Force for convenience for
the Government. Specifically, she was unavailable for worldwide
assignment or deployment due to parenthood. She acknowledged
her right to an administrative discharge board, to be
represented by military counsel and to submit statements on her
behalf. She declined to have her case heard by a discharge
board and to submit matters on her behalf. The case was found
legally sufficient on 20 May 1992. On 16 June 1992, the
commander directed that she be discharged from the Air Force
with an honorable discharge. Her SPD Code was listed as HDG and
her RE code was listed as 2C. She was credited with 6 years and
13 days of active duty service.
concerning
dependent
military
obligations
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. Air Force Regulation 39-10,
states airmen are subject to discharge if they fail to meet
their
care
responsibilities. These responsibilities include making and
maintaining dependent care arrangements that allow active duty
members to be world-wide available at all times.
Based on documentation in the applicant’s personnel file, the
discharge was consistent with the procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge instruction and was within the
discretion of the discharge authority. The applicant did not
submit evidence of an error or injustice that occurred during
the discharge process.
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant’s RE Code is
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on
her involuntary discharge with honorable character of service.
If a military recruiter believes she is otherwise eligible and
wants to enlist the applicant, a waiver of the RE code would be
appropriate.
The applicant has not provided evidence of an error or injustice
during the discharge process.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 19 June 2012, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). As of this date, this office has received no
response.
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant’s submission in judging the merits of the case;
2
however, we are not persuaded that a change in the record is
warranted. Therefore, we agree with the opinions and
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary
responsibility, and adopt their 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 that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
