RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03635
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code 2C, (Approved Honorable Involuntary
Separation or Entry Level Separation), on his DD Form 214,
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed
to allow him to reenlist in the Air Force.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
Having his reentry code changed is his last option to fulfill
his duty and his dream to serve his country. He has exhausted
all other options.
The applicant did not submit any additional documentation in
support of his request.
The applicants complete submission is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on
8 November 2011.
On 9 February 2012, his commander notified him that he was
recommending him for discharge under the provisions of Air Force
Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and
Separations and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3208
Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5.26.3, for
failure to progress in military training required to be
qualified for service with the Air Force or for performance of
primary duty. Specifically, the applicant twice failed the
Physical Aptitude Strength Test (PAST) of his Tactical Air
Control Party (TACP) preparatory course and was eliminated from
the course.
On 9 February 2012, the applicant acknowledged receipt of
the commanders intent to discharge him and his rights to
consult counsel, submit statements in his own behalf, or waive
either of the rights. On 14 February 2012, he opted to consult
counsel and submit a statement in his behalf.
Subsequent to the file being found legally sufficient, the
discharge authority approved the recommendation and directed
that the applicant be discharged with an honorable character of
service. The applicant was released from active duty on
23 February 2012 with an uncharacterized character of service
and was credited with completing 3 months, and 16 days of active
duty service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant does
not provide proof of an error or injustice in reference to his
RE Code. The RE Code 2C is the correct code based on the
applicants involuntary discharge with uncharacterized character
of service.
The complete 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 31 October 2013, for review and comment within
30 days (Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received.
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.
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.
