RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01252
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code be changed from 2C which denotes
Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry
level separation without characterization of service to 3C which
denotes First Term Airman not yet considered under the SRP or an
appropriate code, to allow him to re-enlist.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He successfully completed basic training in an honor flight and
was flight leader for the majority of the time. He developed
severe shin splints in both legs and was unable to complete the
combat controller selection course.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 14 May 13, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
On 29 Oct 13, the applicant received an entry level separation
with an RE code of 2C. He was credited with 5 months and 16 days
of active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. On 24 Oct 13, the applicant was
discharged with an entry level separation for Entry Level
Performance or Conduct, specifically reluctance to make the effort
necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty
performance. The RE code 2C is the correct RE code based on his
involuntary entry level separation without characterization of
service. Additionally, the applicant is asking for an RE code of
3C; however; it is clear he is not eligible for an RE code 3C as
the RE code only applies while on active duty.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AETC/SGPS recommends approval. The applicant meets the required
criteria to reapply for military service. Upon completing Basic
Military Training School (BMTS), he entered the Combat Controller
career field but on day one (1) of training he self-eliminated due
to the pain from bilateral shin splints. He acknowledged that he
would be separated from the Air Force if he did not complete day
5 of training. It was also noted that once separated and the
condition resolved, he could re-apply to re-enter the military
after 6 months had passed. Subsequently he was processed for an
entry level separation. According to documentation on file in the
applicants records, the separation was done in accordance with
established policy and administrative procedures.
The complete SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant provides a copy of the RE codes chart used by all
branches of the military, as well as a copy of an AETC/SG letter
dated 9 Oct 14, highlighting he could re-enlist after six months
when his condition resolved.
He was informed by multiple recruiters that no waivers are
accepted for the current 2C code.
He is respectfully requesting his RE code be changed to 3C, or an
appropriate code, to allow him to re-enlist. Without the change
in RE code, re-enlistment is not possible and contradicts what he
was told at separation.
The applicants complete response is at Exhibit E.
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of an injustice warranting corrective action. Even
though the applicant has provided no evidence to show that his
separation was improper or not in compliance with the appropriate
regulations, it is our opinion that relief is warranted in this
case. We note that AETC/SGPS states the applicant meets the
required criteria to reapply for military duty. Therefore, we
believe that correction of his RE code to a waiverable code is
warranted. Whether or not he is successful in his attempts to
return to the military will depend on the needs of the service and
our recommendation in no way guarantees that he will be allowed to
return to any branch of service. Accordingly, we recommend his
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to the APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of
his 29 Oct 13 discharge, his Reentry Code was "3K" which denotes
Reserved for use by AFPC or the AFBCMR when no other reenlistment
eligibility code applies or is appropriate.
