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 applicants 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 applicants 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
commanders 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 applicants
medical diagnosis, indicating there is no evidence of an error
or an injustice. Based on the documentation on file in the
applicants 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 applicants 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 applicants 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.
