RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02040
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reentry Code 3A, which denotes Failure to Complete Course
of Instruction, be changed to 1A, which denotes Ineligible to
Reenlist, but Condition Waived, to allow reenlistment in the
Armed Forces.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She was not offered reclassification into another Air Force
Specialty Code (AFSC).
In support of her request, the applicant provides a copy of her
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 4 Sep 2012, the applicant entered active duty.
On 22 Mar 2013, the applicant was notified by her commander that
he was recommending her for discharge from the Air Force for
unsatisfactory performance. The specific reason was her failure
to progress in military training. The applicant failed to make
satisfactory progress in the Basic Medical Technician/Corpsman
Program (BMTCP) by failing three final exams. She was washed
back in training three times for academic failure and as a
result was relieved from the course.
The applicant waived her right to consult counsel and submit
statements on her own behalf.
On 26 Mar 2013, the staff judge advocate found the discharge
recommendation legally sufficient.
On 28 Mar 2013, the discharge authority approved the
recommendation without probation and rehabilitation.
On 4 Apr 2013, the applicant was honorably discharged with RE
code 3A.
She served seven months and one day on active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant does not provide
any proof of an error or injustice in reference to her RE code,
but wants to reenter the military. On 28 Mar 2013, the
937th Training Group Commander found the applicant unsuitable for
further military service and directed the applicant be
discharged with an honorable character of service. The RE code
2C [sic] is the correct RE code based on the applicants
involuntary discharge with an honorable character of service.
All components of the military can waive RE code 3#s if they
feel it is appropriate and choose to do so.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Her class was approached several times to discuss why the fail
rate for the program was so high. The class, as a whole, felt
the pace for which the program was instructed was too fast.
She was never offered reclassification although she asked for it
more than once.
She was assured she would be able to reenlist with RE code 3A.
However, she was advised by recruiting offices in her area and
in Florida that she was not eligible for reenlistment due to her
RE code 3A.
She has no proof of any error or injustice in reference to her
RE code, however, she was honorably discharged and would very
much like the opportunity to serve her country and fulfill the
commitment she swore to when she originally enlisted.
In support of her request, the applicant provides a letter of
support.
The applicants complete response, with attachment, is at
Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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, as pointed out by the Air Force Office of
Primary Responsibility (OPR), the applicant can request a waiver
to reenter the military. Whether or not she is successful in
her attempts to return to the military will depend on the needs
of the service; therefore, we agree with the opinion and
recommendation of the Air Force OPR and adopt the rationale
expressed 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.
