RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04377 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: YES 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of 2C (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge) be changed to allow him reentry into 
military service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He rejected the option to reenlist into another Air Force 
Specialty Code (AFSC) after unsuccessfully completing his 
initial training. He has now changed his life around and 
regrets the decision he made not to stay in the military. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate he enlisted 
in the Regular Air Force on 1 June 2005. 

 

On 9 March 2006, the applicant was furnished an honorable 
discharge with a narrative reason for separation of 
“Unsatisfactory Performance” and an RE code of 2C (Involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge). He was credited with 
nine months and eight days of total active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR) which is attached at Exhibits C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The applicant received an RE code of 2C 
(Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge) based on 


his involuntary discharge with honorable character of service. 
A change in the applicant’s RE code is not recommended because 
it was required in accordance with Air Force Instruction (AFI) 
36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF. While there is not a 
discharge package in the applicant’s record for review, there is 
no evidence or proof of an error or injustice in regards to his 
reentry (RE) code. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 9 November 2012 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 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 probable error or injustice. We 
took notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging 
the merits of this case; however, we find no evidence of an 
error or injustice that occurred in the discharge process. We 
note the applicant’s military personnel records did not contain 
his discharge package. Therefore, the facts surrounding his 
separation and character of service could not be verified. 
However, based on the presumption of regularity in the conduct 
of governmental affairs, absent evidence to the contrary, we 
must assume the applicant’s discharge, to include his reentry 
(RE) code,, was proper and in compliance with the directive 
under which it was effected. Therefore, in the absence of 
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend 
favorable consideration of the application. 

 

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 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.
