RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-02802
			COUNSEL:  NONE
     			HEARING DESIRED:  YES

_________________________________________________________________

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 so he can 
reenlist in the Armed Forces.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His RE code is unjust and does not allow him to reenlist in the 
Armed Forces.  

He pursued the para-rescue career field but then wasn’t allowed 
to change his Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC).  He did not want 
to be discharged.  

He still wants to serve in the military and will do everything 
he can to prove he is able to reenlist.  

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty.  

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 5 Mar 2013, the applicant entered active duty.  

On 22 Mar 2013, the applicant was notified by his commander that 
he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for a 
condition that interfered with military service, specifically 
for mental disorders In Accordance With (IAW) Air Force 
Instruction (AFI) 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen.  
The basis for the action was the applicant was diagnosed with an 
Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood.

On 26 Mar 2013, the applicant acknowledged the discharge 
notification.  He waived his rights to consult counsel and 
declined to submit statements in his own behalf. 

On 28 Mar 2013, the applicant was discharged with an entry level 
separation, with an uncharacterized character of service, RE 
code “2C” and narrative reason for separation of “Adjustment 
Disorder.”

He served 24 days on active duty.   

________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  The RE code “2C” is required 
based on the entry level separation with an uncharacterized 
character of service.  The applicant does not provide any 
evidence of an error or injustice in reference to his RE code.  
He states that he pursued para-rescue and was not allowed to 
change his AFSC; however, he was separated while in basic 
training due to an adjustment disorder.  The applicant does not 
provide any proof of an error or injustice.  

The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

He is willing to do whatever it takes to prove he is fit for 
reenlistment and is willing to take any mental evaluations or 
complete any tests required in order to change his RE code.  He 
trained very hard to pursue para-rescue even though he wasn’t 
successful.  

The applicant’s complete response 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, 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. 

4.  The applicant’s case is adequately documented and it has not 
been shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel 
will materially add to our understanding of the issue involved.  
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably 
considered.

___________________________________________________________________

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.
