COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code of "2C" (Involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without
characterization of service) and separation code of "JHJ"
(Unsatisfactory Performance) be changed to allow him to reenter
military service.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The RE code he received is preventing him from reenlisting in
the military.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 17 Aug 10, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force.
On 15 Apr 11, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for failure to
make satisfactory progress in a required training program. The
specific reason for the discharge action was the applicant was
disenrolled from technical training for failing the National
Registry Emergency Medical Technician exam four times. Prior to
being disenrolled, the applicant was washed back five times,
received 31.5 hours of additional instruction and counseling,
and attended classes at the Wing Learning and Development
Center.
After consulting with legal counsel, the applicant acknowledged
receipt of the action and waived his rights to an administrative
discharge board, or to submit a statement in his own behalf.
On 18 Apr 11, the legal office reviewed the case and found it
legally sufficient and recommended discharge with an honorable
discharge.
On 21 Apr 11, the discharge authority directed the applicant be
honorably discharged and, on 26 Apr 11, he was so discharged and
credited with eight months and ten days of active service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial noting the applicant has not
provided any evidence of an error or injustice regarding his RE
code. Per the governing instruction, AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments
in the USAF, the applicant received the appropriate RE code
based him being involuntarily discharged with service
characterized as honorable.
The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. Based on the documentation on file in
the applicants master personnel records, the discharge, to
include the narrative reason for separation, was appropriately
administered and was within the discretion of the discharge
authority. Furthermore, the applicant has not provided any
evidence showing an error or injustice in the processing of his
discharge.
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 11 Jan 13, for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office.
________________________________________________________________
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 an injustice. 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 and adopt their rationale as the basis for our
conclusion the applicant has not been the victim of an error or
injustice. Based on the evidence of record, it appears the
applicants honorable discharge for unsatisfactory performance
was consistent with the substantive requirements of the
discharge instruction and within the discharge authoritys
discretion. He has provided no evidence which would lead us to
believe his discharge was improper or contrary to the provisions
of the governing directive, or the RE and SPD codes issued in
conjunction with it were erroneous or inappropriately assigned.
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
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.
