RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02404 

 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) be changed to allow him entry into 
any branch of military service. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He believes his record is unjust because he was discharged for 
something he could have controlled. He should have been given 
another chance in a different Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC). 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 6 Apr 10, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force. On 
7 Oct 10, his commander notified him that he was recommending he 
be separated from the Air Force under the provisions of Air Force 
Instruction 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, chapter 
5, paragraph 5-26.3.; specifically, for failure to progress in 
military training required to be qualified for service with the 
Air Force or for performance of primary duties. 

 

On 13 Oct 10, the discharge authority approved the recommended 
discharge. A legal review by the Chief, Administrative Discharge 
Branch, found the discharge case file legally sufficient and 
recommended the applicant be issued an honorable discharge 
characterization without probation and rehabilitation. On 20 Oct 
10, the applicant was discharged for unsatisfactory performance. 
He served 6 months and 15 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant’s RE 
Code of 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the 
USAF, chapter 3 and based on his involuntary discharge with an 
honorable character of service. In addition, the applicant has 
not provided proof of an error or injustice in reference to his 
RE code. DPSOA notes all members who receive an involuntary 
discharge with an honorable character of service receive an RE 
code of 2C. 

 

The complete 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 7 Aug 12, for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, this office has received no response (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 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 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.

    Her narrative reason for separation does not have an effect on her RE code, as her RE code is driven by her involuntary discharge and honorable character of service. However, by a majority vote, the Board recommended denial of a change to the reentry code. AFPC/DPSOR has admitted that her discharge reason for separation and the corresponding separation code should be corrected.
