RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04487 

 

 COUNSEL: NO 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

1. His entry-level separation with uncharacterized service be 
changed to reflect an Honorable discharge. 

 

2. His reentry (RE) code and narrative reason for separation be 
changed accordingly so that he may reenlist in the military. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was unaware that he would be discharged if he self-eliminated 
from the Pararescue career field. He should have been 
reclassified rather than discharged. 

 

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 17 May 11. 

 

On 1 Sep 11, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was 
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for entry-level 
performance or conduct. The specific reason for the action was 
the applicant was reluctant to make the effort necessary to meet 
Air Force standards of conduct and duty performance. The 
applicant self-eliminated from the Pararescue Development Course 
and, as a result, he was removed from the course. 

 

On 1 Sep 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action, 
his right to consult with legal counsel, and submit statements 
in his own behalf and, on 6 Sep 11, he waived his right to 
consult counsel and submit statements in his behalf. 

 

 


On 8 Sep 11, the legal office found the case legally sufficient 
and, on the same date, the discharge authority directed the 
applicant be furnished an entry-level separation. 

 

On 13 Sep 11, the applicant was furnished an entry-level 
separation with uncharacterized service with a narrative reason 
for separation of “Entry Level Performance or Conduct,” and 
issued an RE code of “2C” (Involuntary separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service). He was credited with 3 months and 
27 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 which is attached at Exhibit C. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOR 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 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 continuous 
service. Therefore, his character of service, RE code, and 
narrative reason for separation are correct and in accordance 
with DoD and Air Force instructions. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR 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 10 Dec 12 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 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 in judging the 


merits of the case; however, we agree with the opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its 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 
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.
