IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03643
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 2C, which denotes "Involuntarily separated
with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service," be changed to allow his reentry in
the military.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged from the Air Force because he failed a
training module twice.
He went back to college and would like to enter the military as
an officer or enlisted member. However he was rejected from all
branches of the service due to his RE code.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 10 Apr 2007, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 7 Aug 2007, his commander notified him that he was
recommending he be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations
and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen. The
reason for this action was he failed to make satisfactory
progress in a required training program as reflected in the
Notification Memorandum at Exhibit B.
On 7 Aug 2007, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
Discharge Notification and waived his right to submit statements
or to consult with legal counsel.
On 21 Aug 2012, the applicant received an entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service after serving 4 months and 12 days
(133 days) of active service.
________________________________________________________________
THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states that in accordance
with AFI 36-3208, airmen are in entry-level status during the
first 180 days of continuous active military service or the
first 180 days of continuous active military service after a
break of more than 92 days of active service. Entry-level
separations are determined when the commander initiates the
separation action. The applicants commander initiated
separation action on 7 Aug 2007, which gave him 133 days of
active duty at the time his separation action was initiated.
Based on the documentation on file in the master personnel
records, the discharge and the service characterization was
appropriately administered and within the discretion of the
discharge authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence
of an error or injustice in the processing of his discharge
warranting a change to his RE code.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states that the applicants
RE code of 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the
USAF, based on his involuntary discharge with entry level
separation.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 26 Nov 2012, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within
30 days. As of this date, no response has been received by this
office (Exhibit E).
________________________________________________________________
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 error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicant's 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. 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.
