AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01755
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
IN THE MATTER OF:
______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 2C, which denotes
"Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without characterization of service," be
changed to allow reentry in the military.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The discharge he received is unjust because he tried his best to
complete Pararescue training. He understands the reason for his
discharge, but would like it changed so that he can join the Air
National Guard (ANG).
In support of his request the applicant provides copies of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty and AF IMT 100, Request and Authorization for Separation.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 28 Dec 2010, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 7 Apr 2011, the applicant was notified by his commander that
he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airman. His reason for this action was that on 28 Mar 2011, he
self-eliminated from the Pararescue Development Course.
On 7 Apr 2011, the applicant acknowledged the Discharge
Notification and waived his rights to consult with legal
counsel and submit statements in his own behalf.
On 11 Apr 2011, the Staff Judge Advocate found the discharge
action legally sufficient.
On 18 Apr 2011, the applicant received an entry level discharge
with an uncharacterized character of service after serving
3 months and 21 days of active service.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of changing the applicant’s RE
code. DPSOA states RE code 2C is required per AFI 36-2606,
Reenlistments in the USAF, based on his involuntary discharge
with honorable character of service. The applicant states he
tried his best, however, when offered a chance for remedial
training he said that he no longer wanted to train. He was not
recommended for retraining. He does not provide proof of an
error or injustice in reference to his RE code.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of the applicant’s request to
change his service characterization. DPSOR states the
applicant's service characterization is correct. Airmen are
given “Entry Level” separation with an “Uncharacterized” service
characterization when separation is initiated in the first
180 days of continuous active service. The Department of
Defense (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days
continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and
the service to characterize their limited service. Therefore,
the “Uncharacterized” character of service which resulted in the
RE code of 2C reflected on his DD Form 214 is correct and in
accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 22 Aug 2012, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit E).
