RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-03728
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code 2P (separated under AFR 39-10 as marginal
performer or to preserve good order and discipline, BMT
eliminees discharge due to erroneous enlistment, concealment of
civilian convictions, etc.) be corrected.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was never absent without leave (AWOL). In fact, he never had
any disciplinary incidents while enlisted.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provides his DD Form
214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and
Decree for Change of Name.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 May 1980.
His commander recommended that he be discharged under the
provisions of AFR 39-10, after receiving six Records of
Individual Counseling for poor duty performance. The applicant
failed his End of Course exam and was later removed from on-the-
job training due to his poor attitude towards training. He was
discharged on 17 April 1981 with an honorable discharge. His RE
code was listed as 2P. He was credited with 11 months and
8 days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant was involuntarily
discharged on 17 April 1981 under Marginal Performer with an
honorable discharge.
He contends he was never AWOL and never had any disciplinary
incidents. However, RE code 2P did not have the meaning of AWOL
at the time of his discharge. Additionally, the applicants
discharge package had several Letters of Counseling in support
of his involuntary discharge.
The applicants RE code is the correct RE code per the
applicable guidance at that time.
The complete DPSOA evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 10 January 2014, 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of error or injustice. We took notice
of the applicants complete submission in judging the merits of
the case; however, we are not persuaded by the evidence
submitted in his appeal that a change in his RE code is
warranted. 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. 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.
