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.
