RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-01503

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 4C (Separated for 
concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet 
physical standard 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 reentry 
in the military.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She does not have symptomatic anemia, the condition for which 
she was discharged.  She has no medical history of this issue 
and can prove that she does not have it now.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 
29 Oct 13.

On 20 Nov 13, the applicant’s commander notified her that he was 
recommending her for discharge for erroneous enlistment.  The 
reason for this action was a medical narrative summary, dated 
15 Nov 13, that found the applicant did not meet minimum medical 
standards to enlist; specifically, that the applicant had 
anemia. 

On 20 Nov 13, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action 
and waived her rights to consult with legal counsel or submit 
statements on her own behalf.

On 21 Nov 13, the action was found to be legally sufficient and, 
on 22 Nov 13, the discharge authority concurred with the 
commander’s recommendation.

On 25 Nov 13, the applicant was furnished an entry-level 
separation with uncharacterized service, with a RE code of 4C.

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AETC/SGPS recommends denial as it pertains to the applicant’s 
medical diagnosis, indicating there is no evidence of an error 
or an injustice.  Based on the documentation on file in the 
applicant’s records, the separation was carried out in 
accordance with established policy and administrative 
procedures.  If she continues to have normal lab results she may 
re-apply through her recruiter for a waiver consideration and if 
granted re-enter military service.

A complete copy of the AETC/SGPS evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request for an 
RE code that would make her eligible to reenlist.  The applicant 
was involuntarily discharged for Failed Medical/Physical 
Procurement Standards after serving 27 days of active service. 
She received an erroneous RE code on his DD Form 214 of 4C 
(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).  Her correct RE 
code is 2C (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; 
or entry level separation without characterization of service) 
as required by AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on 
her entry level separation with uncharacterized service.  The RE 
code 2C is required based on the entry level separation with 
uncharacterized service and applicant does not provide any 
evidence of an error or injustice in reference to her RE code. 
If otherwise eligible, the component applicant desires to enter 
should approve a waiver if they desire her services as supported 
by HQ AETC/SGPS.

A complete copy of the AFPC/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 4 Aug 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit E).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.



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 an error or injustice warranting 
correcting the applicant’s records to make her immediately 
eligible for reenlistment.  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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale 
as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not been the 
victim of an injustice with respect to her eligibility for 
enlistment.  We note the Air Force OPR has determined the 
applicant should have been issued an RE code of 2C in 
conjunction with her entry-level separation with uncharacterized 
service and will correct her records administratively.  While we 
note that said administrative correction will not result in the 
applicant being eligible for immediate re-enlistment, the 
applicant is free to pursue an enlistment waiver through the 
service or component of her choice.  Whether or not she is 
successful in obtaining an enlistment waiver will be based 
entirely on the needs of the service, provided she is otherwise 
qualified.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the 
contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting relief beyond 
that rendered administratively.


THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
