AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 
DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-02079 
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED: NO 

IN THE MATTER OF: 
   
   
 
    
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
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  one  that  will  allow 
him to reenter the military. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 
 
He  was  separated  from  the  Air  Force  while  attending  technical 
school.  He had many personal problems at home as his father had 
just been brought back from Iraq due to a severe heart condition 
and  his  head  was  not  fully  engaged  into  his  training.    He  was 
young, naïve, and straight out of High School.  He had problems 
with the academic portion of his training, but he put his best 
effort  forth  at  that  time.    He  had  no  derogative  reports  or 
Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) action taken against him.  
He  feels  that  he  has  matured  since  leaving  the  military.    His 
lifelong dream has always been to serve his country in the active 
duty Air Force, just as his father served in the Army for over 
25 years.   
 
He requested to repeat his training or be given another Air Force 
Specialty  Code  (AFSC),  but  his  request  was  denied  and  he  was 
discharged.   
 
In  support  of  his  request,  the  applicant  provides  a  personal 
statement and excerpts from his military records. 
 
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.  
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
STATEMENT OF FACTS: 
 
The  applicant  was  notified  by  his  commander  that  he  was 
recommending  him  for  discharge  from  the  Air  Force  under  the 
provisions  of  AFPD  36-32  and  AFI  36-3208,  paragraph  5.22.2.3.  
The  specific  reason  for  this  action  was  for  failing  to  make 
satisfactory  progress  in  a  required  training  program.    After  a 
legal review, the assistant staff judge advocate found the case 
 
 

 

 
legally  sufficient.    The  applicant’s  narrative  reason  for 
separation  is  reflected  on  his  DD  Form  214,  Certificate  of 
Release or Discharge from Active Duty, as entry level performance 
and conduct and he received a “2C” RE code.  He was discharged 
and received an entry level separation on 13 Jun 07 after serving 
3 months and 24 days on active duty.   
 
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the letters prepared by the appropriate offices of 
the Air Force, which are at Exhibit C and D. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
AFPC/DPSOS  recommends  denial  by  stating  that  based  on  the 
documentation  on  file  in  the  applicant’s  master  personnel 
records, the discharge, to include the service characterization, 
was  appropriately  administered  and  within  the  discharge 
authority’s  discretion.    Additionally,  the  applicant  did  not 
provide any evidence of an error or injustice in the processing 
of his discharge that would warrant a change to his character of 
service, separation code, or narrative reason for separation. 
 
The complete DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 
 
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial by stating that the applicant’s RE 
code of “2C” is required by the governing instructions based on 
his involuntary discharge with an uncharacterized service.  They 
note that if otherwise eligible a waiver from recruiting services 
would  be  more  appropriate  than  changing  his  RE  code,  which  is 
currently correct. 
 
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D. 
 
_________________________________________________________________ 
 
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 
 
Copies  of  the  Air  Force  evaluations  were  forwarded  to  the 
applicant on 11 Sep 12 for review and comment within 30 days.  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 an error or injustice.  Applicant’s 
contentions  are  duly  noted;  however,  we  are  not  persuaded  that 
the applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice.  At 
the  time  members  are  separated  from  the  Air  Force,  they  are 
furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of their service 
and circumstances of their separation.  Therefore, we agree with 
the  opinion  and  recommendation  of  the  Air  Force  offices  of 
primary responsibility and adopt their 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 reflief 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.
