AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-04744
			COUNSEL:  NONE
			HEARING DESIRED: NO

	 

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry code (RE) of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed.

________________________________________________________________
_

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

He would like his RE code changed in order to join another 
branch of service.  He feels it is an injustice to have been 
characterized with a “2C” RE code..  

The applicant does not provide any supporting documentation.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 9 Aug 11.  
The applicant was notified by his commander that she was 
recommending him for discharge from the Air Force under the 
provisions of AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, 
Chapter 5, Section 5D, entry level performance or conduct.  The 
specific reason was for failing to make progress in a required 
training program.  On 8 Dec 11, the applicant acknowledged 
receipt of the discharge notification.  After a legal review, 
the Assistance Staff Judge Advocate concurred with the 
commander’s discharge recommendation.  The applicant received an 
entry level discharge on 20 Dec 11 after serving 4 months and 12 
days on active duty.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letter prepared by the appropriate office of 
the Air Force, which is at Exhibit C and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial.  The applicant failed to 
successfully complete the Services Apprentice Course, which is a 
requirement to graduate.  He was afforded an opportunity to 
overcome his academic deficiencies; however, he failed to 
progress in the required training and was not recommended for 
reclassification consideration.  The basis for the discharge was 
supported by the evidence.  His academic performance indicated 
that he had an inability to complete more stringent requirements 
of the Service Apprentice Course.  Additionally, airmen are 
given an entry level separation when separation is initiated in 
the first 180 days of continuous active service.  The discharge 
was consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements 
of the discharge regulation and was within the discharge 
authority’s discretion.

The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  The applicant’s “2C” RE code is 
required based on the entry level separation with an 
uncharacterized service and he does not provide any evidence of 
an error or injustice.  

The complete 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 21 Dec 12 for review and comment within 30 days.  
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 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 offices of primary responsibility and adopt 
their rationale as the basis for our conclusion that 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 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.
