RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-04749 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of 2C (involuntary separation with 
honorable discharge) be changed to 1M (eligible to reenlist) so 
that he can join the Air Force Reserve. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He was discharged for being overweight. However, since he is 
now below the Air Force maximum weight standards, he would like 
the opportunity to return to military service and become 
retirement eligible. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 13 March 
1992. 

 

On 17 January 1995, the applicant’s commander notified him that 
he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for his 
continued failure in the Weight Management Program (WMP). 

 

On 18 January 1995, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the 
action, consulted with legal counsel, and waived his rights to 
submit statements in his own behalf. 

 

On 20 January 1995, the case was found legally sufficient and 
the discharge authority directed the applicant be furnished an 
honorable discharge, without probation and rehabilitation. 

 

On 27 January 1995, the applicant was furnished an honorable 
discharge, with a narrative reason for separation of “Physical 
Standards.” He was credited with 2 years, 10 months, and 
15 days of total active service. 

 

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

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The factors considered for the 
applicant’s RE code were his rank, time in service, and reason 
for separation. He was discharged for failure in the WMP, which 
warranted an involuntary discharge with an honorable character 
of service and an RE code of 2C in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF. While the applicant was also 
eligible for the 4E or 3A RE codes based on his administrative 
demotion or time in service, respectively, the RE code 2C takes 
precedence over the noted codes because only one RE code applies 
to a member at a time and in the following priority sequence 2-
Series, 4-Series, 3-Series, and 1-Series. 

 

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 14 December 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 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 
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.
