RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-01229
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 to join
the Marine Corps.
________________________________________________________________
_
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was discharged because he failed two Physical Aptitude and
Stamina Tests (Past) that had changed while he was attending
Basic Training. He was not given the opportunity to reclassify
to another career field. He would love to serve his country
again.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides copies of a
Letter of Evaluation; his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or
Discharge from Active Duty; Request and Authorization for
Separation; and three character references.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
_
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 4 October
2011 in Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 1C411, Tactical Air
Control Party (TACP) Helper.
The applicant was eliminated from the TACP Preparatory Course
after failing two Physical Aptitude and Stamina Tests and
failing to make satisfactory progress.
On 15 February 2012, the applicant was notified of his
commanders intent to recommend him for an entry-level
separation under the provisions of Air Force Program Directive
(AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations, and; Air
Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3208, Administrative Separation of
Airmen, Chapter 5, Section 5D (entry-level performance or
conduct), specifically, paragraph 5.22.2.3, (failure to make
satisfactory progress in a required training program). The
applicant acknowledged his commanders intent and waived his
rights to consult counsel and to submit statements in his own
behalf.
After the Assistant Staff Judge Advocate found the case to be
legally sufficient, the discharge authority approved the
recommended separation and directed the applicant be
administratively separated with an uncharacterized entry-level
separation.
The applicant was released from active duty, in the grade of
airman basic (E-1), effective 1 March 2012 with an
uncharacterized, entry-level separation. His DD Form 214
reflects his RE code as 2C and a narrative reason for
separation as Entry Level Performance or Conduct. He served 4
months and 28 days on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
Code of 2C is required based on his entry-level separation
with uncharacterized service. Their office has found no error
in regard to his RE code.
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 3 May 2013, for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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 find no evidence of an error or injustice
that occurred during the discharge process. Based on the
available evidence of record, it appears the discharge was
consistent with the substantive requirements of the discharge
regulation and within the commander's discretionary authority.
Therefore, 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.
