RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04238
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code 2C (involuntarily separated with honorable
discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of
service) be changed to allow him to reenlist.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
While he served in the Air Force, he was not prepared for the
academic rigor required; which affected his attitude towards
training. He has since matured both personally and academically
and clearly sees how he could have overcome his challenges using
the guidance and support offered by his superiors. He made poor
career choices and would sincerely appreciate a second chance to
honorably serve his country.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16 November
2010. On 13 May 2011, he was notified of his commanders intent
to discharge him from the Air Force for entry level performance
or conduct. Specifically, the applicant failed to make
satisfactory progress in the Aerospace Ground Engineer
Apprentice course. The applicant acknowledged his right to
counsel and submit matters on his behalf: he declined both. The
assistant staff judge advocate found the discharge legally
sufficient on 18 May 2011. One 24 May 2011, the commander
directed the applicant be separated with an entry level
separation. He was credited with 6 months and 10 days of active
duty service and his RE code was listed as 2C.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicants RE code is
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on
his involuntary discharge and uncharacterized service. He does
not provide proof of an error or injustice; rather, he states he
has matured.
The applicant was eliminated from training for academic failure
as annotated on his Student Training Report. He also received a
Letter of Counseling for missing a mandatory appointment and a
Letter of Reprimand for not shaving. All counseling and
rehabilitative efforts consistently failed to produce positive
results.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
He does not wish to prove there was an error or injustice, only
an opportunity to further explain.
He understands with the budget cuts in the defense department,
it is easy to keep his code the same; yet, he asks for latitude.
He did not perform to Air Force expectations which truly disgust
him. He humbly asks for another opportunity where he can serve
our great country in any of the other branches of service. He
has been in contact with the Navy and can enlist immediately if
his code is changed.
He is asking for another chance to show that he is dependable
and able to do the job. He can and will be a great asset to
whichever branch is open to a committed soldier.
The applicants complete response is at Exhibit E.
________________________________________________________________
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 applicants 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. The facts and opinions stated in the advisory
opinion appear to be based on the evidence of record and have
not been adequately rebutted by the applicant. Absent
persuasive evidence the applicant was denied rights to which he
was entitled or appropriate regulations were not followed, we
find no basis to disturb the existing record.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel
will materially add to our understanding of the issues involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably
considered.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
