AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01113
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of 2C which denotes “Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge” be changed to a 1A which
denotes “Ineligible to reenlist, but condition waived,” so that
he can re-enlist in the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged for academic reasons. He is currently enrolled
in a local university and working two jobs. He is highly
motivated and has a strong will to serve his country.
In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty; pay stubs from his places of employment, and his school
schedule.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 29 Nov 10, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of four years.
On 28 Jul 11, the applicant was notified by his squadron
commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air
Force for unsatisfactory duty performance, specifically, for
failure to progress in a required military training program. The
reason for the proposed action was the applicant failed his Block
II, Unit 5 tests on two occasions with scores of 50 percent and
57 percent respectively; the minimum passing score was
70 percent.
On 28 Jul 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and waived his right to consult legal
counsel and submit statements in his own behalf.
The base legal office found the case legally sufficient to
support the separation, and on 5 Aug 11, the discharge authority
approved the separation and directed an honorable discharge.
On 26 Aug 11, the applicant was honorably discharged by reason of
unsatisfactory performance, and received an RE code of 2C. He
served on active duty for a period of 8 months and 28 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant’s RE
code “2C” is correct based on his involuntary separation with an
honorable characterization of service. The applicant is
requesting a “1A” RE code; however, AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in
the United States Air Force, states do not separate members with
1# RE codes except 1J “Eligible to reenlist, but elects
separation.” The applicant cannot be awarded a 1J RE code as he
was not selected or non-selected for reenlistment under the
selective reenlistment program by his commander.
Members who are involuntarily separated from the Air Force with
an honorable character of service receive an RE code of 2C. If a
military recruiter believes he is otherwise eligible a waiver of
the RE code 2C would be more appropriate.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 30 May 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, a response has not 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 that the applicant has
not been the victim of an error or injustice. Should the
applicant provide post service evidence, specifically, the grades
he has obtained while attending college we would be willing to
reconsider his request. 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.
