RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05522
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code "2B" (Separated with a general or under
other than honorable conditions (UOTHC) discharge) be changed to
allow him to reenter military service.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believes the RE code he received was too harsh for the minor
disciplinary infractions he committed.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 8 Feb 11, the applicant commenced his enlistment in the
Regular Air Force (RegAF).
On 23 Sep 11, the applicants commander notified him that he was
recommending his discharge from the Air Force for minor
disciplinary infractions. The specific reasons for the
discharge action were that he received an Article 15 for
drinking alcohol while under the age of 21 and a Letter of
Counseling (LOC) for failing to obey an order or regulation.
After consulting with legal counsel, the applicant acknowledged
receipt of the action and elected to submit a statement in his
own behalf.
On 17 Oct 11, the applicant was furnished a general (under
honorable conditions) discharge and issued an RE code of 2B. He
was credited with eight months and ten days of total active
service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of
an error or injustice. The applicant received the appropriate
RE code based his being involuntarily discharged with service
characterized as general. However, even if at some future date
the applicant were to be successful in getting his discharge
upgraded by the Air Force Discharge Review Board (AFDRB), his RE
code would be automatically changed to "2C" (Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service).
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 21 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 applicants complete submission in judging the
merits of the case; however, we find no evidence of an error or
injustice that occurred in the discharge process or the
assignment of the contested RE code. Based on the available
evidence of record, it appears the applicants general (under
honorable conditions) discharge for misconduct was consistent
with the substantive requirements of the discharge instruction
and within the discharge authoritys discretion. He has
provided no evidence which would lead us to believe his
discharge was improper or contrary to the provisions of the
governing directive, or the RE code issued in conjunction with
it was erroneous or inappropriately assigned. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which
to recommend favorable consideration of the 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.
