RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01706
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His character of service on his DD Form 214, Certificate of
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed from
uncharacterized to under honorable conditions.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He can receive education benefits from the state of Wisconsin if
his discharge was under honorable conditions. His reenlistment
(RE) code of 2C means under honorable conditions. The injury he
incurred while in basic military training (BMT) was the basis for
his discharge.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, an excerpt from his military medical records, and a
letter from the Waukesha County Veterans Services office
requesting assistance from the applicants state senator.
The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 8 Aug 06.
On 14 Nov 06, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for Erroneous
Enlistment. His reason for taking this action was the
applicants diagnosis by the Trainee Health Flight, Wilford Hall
Medical Center, as having post concussive syndrome, which existed
prior to him entering military service. He acknowledged receipt
of the action and waived his right to consult with counsel and to
submit statements on his own behalf.
On 27 Nov 06, the applicant was furnished an entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service and credited with
3 months and 20 days of active service and issued an RE code of
2C (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without characterization of service).
Airmen are given an entry-level separation with uncharacterized
service when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of
continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD)
determined it would be unfair to the member or the service to
characterize a members limited service when separation is
initiated within the first 180 days of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AETC/SGPS recommends denial, indicating the processing of the
applicants separation was carried out in accordance with
established policy and administrative procedures. Although the
applicant believes he had an injury during training that caused
his discharge, his records show he withheld information
concerning his loss of consciousness and migraine headaches prior
to entering active duty. If the information pertaining to his
injury had been disclosed to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) he
would have been disqualified and a waiver would have been
required for him to enter active duty.
The complete AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 18 May 12 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has 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 an error or an injustice. We took
notice of the applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred in the discharge process. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the applicants entry-
level separation with uncharacterized service was consistent with
the substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and
within the discharge authoritys discretion. As a matter of DOD
policy, Airmen are given entry-level separation with
uncharacterized service when separation is initiated in the first
180 days of continuous active service. He has provided no
evidence which would lead us to believe that his entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service was improper or contrary
to the provisions of the governing directive. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which
to recommend favorable consideration of the applicants request.
