RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-02884
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
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 allow him to reenter
the military.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His technical training school for Air Force Specialty Code 4N031,
Aerospace Medical Service, was extremely difficult. He failed
the Emergency Medical Technician-Basic National Registry three
times, which caused him to fail out of Tech School. He believes
that if he were given another career field, he would be
successful at completing technical training.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 7 June 2011 in
career field 4N011, Aerospace Medical Service Helper.
On 29 December 2011, his commander notified the applicant of his
intent to recommend him for an honorable discharge for academic
failure under the provisions of Air Force Program Directive
(AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations. The
applicant acknowledged his commanders intent, consulted counsel
and submitted a statement in his own behalf. After considering
the applicants submission, the commander recommended he be
discharged without probation or rehabilitation based on the
applicants failure of multiple exams, despite counseling and
individual assistance; and, failure to make progress in a
required training program.
After the Assistant Staff Judge Advocate found the case to be
legally sufficient, the discharge authority approved the
recommended discharge and directed the applicant be honorably
discharged under the provisions of Air Force Instruction (AFI)
36-3208, Chapter 5, Section 5E, for unsatisfactory performance.
The applicant was honorably discharged effective 20 January 2012,
in the grade of airman first class (E-3). His DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, reflects
his RE code as 2C and a narrative reason for separation as
Unsatisfactory Performance. He served 7 months and 14 days on
active duty.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicants RE
Code of 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the
USAF, based on his involuntary discharge with an honorable
characterization of service. The applicant does not provide
evidence of an error or injustice in reference to his RE Code.
The complete 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 17 September 2012, 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 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.
