RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-03422
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His narrative reason for separation (Entry-Level Performance or
Conduct) and separation code (JGA) be changed.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The application of conscientious objector does not apply to him
and is preventing him from serving in the Air Force Reserves.
The applicant's complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 3 Jan 12, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force for
a period of six years.
On 6 Apr 12, the applicant was notified by his squadron commander
that he was recommending his discharge for entry-level
performance or conduct, specifically, his reluctance to make the
effort necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty
performance. The reason for the proposed action was the
applicant self-eliminated from the Pararescue Development Course,
and as a result he was removed from the course.
On 6 Apr 12, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
notification of discharge and, waived his right to consult with
legal counsel and submit a statement in his own behalf.
The base legal office found the case legally sufficient to
support the separation, and on 10 Apr 12, the discharge authority
approved the discharge.
On 13 Apr 12, the applicant received an uncharacterized entry-
level separation and was issued a reentry code of 2C
(Involuntarily separated with an entry level separation without
characterization of service). He served on active duty for a
period of 3 months and 11 days.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial. DPSOR states the applicant did not
provide any evidence of an error or injustice that occurred in
the processing of his discharge. Based on the documentation on
file in the master personnel records, the discharge to include
the service characterization was appropriately administered and
was within the discretion of the discharge authority.
DPSOR was unable to find any reference to a conscientious
objector application in the applicants military records.
Airmen are given an entry-level separation/uncharacterized
service characterization when separation is initiated in the
first 180 days of continuous active service. The Department of
Defense (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days
continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and
the service to characterize their limited service. Therefore,
the uncharacterized service which resulted in the reentry code of
2C is correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force
instructions.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 1 Oct 12, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to
the applicant for review and comment within 30 days. To date, a
response has not been received (Exhibit D).
_________________________________________________________________
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.
