AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
 
 

 
 
 

DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-01202 
COUNSEL: NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

IN THE MATTER OF:   
 
 
     
 
     
 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:  
 
His reentry (RE) code 4H (serving  suspended  punishment  pursuant 
to  Article  15)  be  changed  to  allow  him  to  enter  the  Army 
National Guard. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He  believes  his  RE  code  is  unjust  because  his  AF  Form  100, 
Request  and  Authorization  for  Separation,  shows  his  RE  code  as 
2B (separated  with  a  general  or  under  than  honorable  conditions 
discharge).    He  believes  he  should  be  allowed  to  serve  his 
country again since his mistake was an isolated incident and not 
a pattern of misconduct.  He is in the process of enrolling in a 
technical  college  for  law  enforcement  and  would  like  nothing 
more than to serve his community and country. 
 
In  support  of  his  appeal,  the  applicant  provides  his  DD  Form 
214,  Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge  from  Active  Duty  and 
his AF Form 100. 
 
The  applicant’s  complete  submission,  with  attachments,  is  at 
Exhibit A. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 1 March 2006. 
On  15  November  2007,  he  was  notified  of  his  commander’s  intent 
to discharge him from the Air Force for misconduct – drug abuse.  
Specifically,  the  applicant  wrongfully  used  marijuana.    The 
applicant  acknowledged  his  right  to  counsel  and  submit  matters 
on his behalf: which he did.  On 3 December 2007, the commander 
directed  the  applicant  be  separated  with  a  general  (under 
honorable  conditions)  discharge.    He  was  credited  with  1  year, 
9 months and 5 days of active duty service and his RE code was 
listed as 4H. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 

 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSOA  recommends  denial.    The  applicant  was  involuntarily 
separated for misconduct – drug abuse.  He received an erroneous 
RE  code  of  4H;  his  correct  RE  code  is  2B.    The  applicant’s 
discharge was a result of his own actions and requires RE code 
2B per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the Air Force.   
 
Unless otherwise directed by the Board, AFPC/DPSOY will publish 
and  provide  the  applicant  with  a  corrected  copy  of  his 
DD Form 214. 
 
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. 
 
________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
A  copy  of  the  Air  Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  the 
applicant on 19 June 2012, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit  D).    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 complete submission in judging the merits of 
the  case;  however,  we  are  not  persuaded  by  the  evidence 
submitted  in  his  appeal  that  a  change  in  his  RE  code  is 
warranted.    Therefore,  we  agree  with  the  opinion  and 
recommendation 
primary 
responsibility,  and  adopt  its  rationale  as  the  basis  for  our 
conclusion 
granted 
administratively  is  not  warranted.    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
