RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03925
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) Code of 2C (Involuntary honorable discharge or
entry-level separation with uncharacterized service) be changed
so he can reenlist in the Air Force.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged because he failed to complete Technical School
training. He had a chance to do great the first time and ruined
it so he wants to make up for it.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant initially entered the Air Force on 28 Dec 09.
On 12 May 10, the applicant received a Letter of Counseling
(LOC) for failing to make formation. The LOC stated Your
lackadaisical attitude when being questioned as to why you were
late gave the impression that you just didnt care.
On 3 Jun 10, the applicants commander notified him of his
intent to discharge him from the Air Force for entry level
performance or conduct. The reason for this action was that he
failed to progress in a required training program.
Specifically, on 19 Apr 10, he failed a test with a score of
50 percent when a 70 percent was the minimum passing, and on
11 May 10, he failed the retest with a score of 55 percent.
On 14 Jun 10, after consulting with a legal counsel, the
applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification and waived
his right to submit a statement.
On 16 Jun 10, the case was found to be legally sufficient and,
on 17 Jun 10, the discharge authority directed his discharge.
On 18 Jun 10, the applicant was furnished an entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service with a RE code of 2C,
and was credited with 5 months and 21 days of total active
service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
described in the letters prepared by the Air Force offices of
primary responsibility (OPR) which are attached at Exhibits
C and D.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. The record reflects the applicant was
afforded an opportunity to overcome his academic deficiencies,
but he failed to successfully complete the Aircraft Hydraulic
Systems Apprentice Course. His performance indicated an
inability to complete the more stringent requirements of the
follow-on training course. The applicants commander stated
that he does not appear to possess the Air Force core values he
should for an Airman in technical training. Airmen are given an
ELS 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 and
the service to characterize a members limited service when
separation is initiated within the first 180 days of active
service. The applicant provided no evidence or fact warranting a
change to his type of separation or RE Code.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial with respect to the applicants
RE Code, indicating there is no evidence of error or injustice.
The RE Code of 2C is required based on the ELS with
uncharacterized service and the applicant does not provide any
evidence of an error or injustice.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He made a mistake. He was given a second chance to continue on
in his training after failing the first time, and he messed that
up too. When he enlisted, he was just barely past the age of 19
and didnt have the skills to succeed. However, his experience
working at Target has made him a better person. He now has the
skills to succeed in the Air Force, and since he received an
honorable discharge his earlier failure should not cause his
separation to be permanent (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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 injustice. We took
notice of the applicant's complete submission, including his
rebuttal to the advisories, in judging the merits of the case.
However, we agree with the opinions and recommendations of the
Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR) and adopt
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant
has not been the victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, 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 the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
applicant was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with the
application.
