RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04097
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His entry-level separation with uncharacterized service; Reentry
(RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an Honorable
discharge or entry-level separation without characterization of
service); and Separation Program Designator (SPD) code be
changed so he may reenlist in the military.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
There were no errors in his discharge processing, but he has
corrected his performance since his discharge and would like a
second chance at the military.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________ ______________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicants military personnel records indicate he commenced
his active service on 4 Jun 12.
On 2 Aug 12, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for unsatisfactory
entry-level performance or conduct. The reason for the action
was the applicants numerous unsatisfactory conduct and
performance infractions while in Basic Military Training (BMT),
as documented on his BMT Forms 105A, Basic Military Training
Record, which document his failure to adapt in a military
environment.
On 2 Aug 12, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action
and waived his right to consult with legal counsel and submit
statements in his own behalf.
On 3 Aug 12, the discharge authority concurred with the
commanders recommendation and the applicant was furnished an
entry-level separation with uncharacterized service for entry-
level performance and conduct and issued SPD and RE codes of
JGA and 2C, respectively. He was credited with 10 months
and 14 days of total prior inactive service.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of
the Air Force, which are attached at Exhibits C and D.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. Based on the documentation on file in
the master personnel records, the discharge to include the
service characterization, separation and reentry codes was
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. Airmen are given entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service when separation is initiated in the
first 180 days of continuous active service. Therefore, his
character of service and SPD and RE codes are correct and in
accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to
change his RE code, noting the separation was carried out in
accordance with established policy and administrative
procedures. The RE code was based on the applicants entry-
level separation with uncharacterized service and was required
in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF; there
is no basis to support a change in his original RE code.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 15 Feb 13, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit E). 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 timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice with respect
to the applicants request to correct his record so that he may
re-enlist. We took notice of the applicants complete
submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we agree
with the opinions and recommendations of the Air Force offices
of primary responsibility (OPRs) and adopt their rationale as
the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the
victim of an error or injustice with respect to his entry-level
separation with uncharacterized service and the reentry and
separation program designator codes issued to him in conjunction
with his separation. Notwithstanding the above, we note the
applicant has not been appropriately credited for his active
service when he was separated. In this respect, we note that
his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty, indicates that he was credited with no active service.
However, we have been advised by the Air Force office of primary
responsibility (OPR) that his records will be corrected
administratively. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no basis to recommend any relief beyond that
granted administratively.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.
