IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2013-00300
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) Code, 4C which denotes, Separated for concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet physical standards for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test, or void enlistments, be changed to allow reenlistment in the Armed Forces.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
In 2002, he had a temporary illness that disqualified him from military service. He has since been cleared by a medical specialist and would like to reenlist in the Reserves.
In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of DD Form 293, Application for the Review of Discharge from the Armed Forces of the United States.
The applicants complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 19 Feb 2002, the applicant entered active duty.
On 21 Mar 2002, he was notified by his commander that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for Erroneous Enlistment in accordance with Air Force Instruction 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airman. The specific reason for this action was a medical narrative summary, dated 11 March 2002, found that the applicant did not meet the minimum medical standards for enlistment because of pleuritic chest pain and he should not have been allowed to enlist. He was advised of his right to consult with legal counsel and submit statements on his own behalf.
On 26 Mar 2002, he was discharged with RE code 4C and a narrative reason for separation of, Failed Medical/Physical Procurement Standards.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states that he received an erroneous RE code of 4C and his correct RE code is 2C which denotes, Involuntary separation with administrative discharge, based on his entry level separation with an uncharacterized character of service. The applicant does not provide any error or injustice reference to his RE code. Unless otherwise noted by the Board, DPSOA will administratively correct the applicants records to reflect RE code 2C which applies to all entry level separations without characterization of service.
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 22 Mar 2013 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a 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 injustice. We note the error in his RE code and agree with DPSOAs recommendation to change his RE code to 2C. 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.
