RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02863
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry (RE) code 2C (involuntarily separated with an
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without
characterization of service) be changed to 3A (first-term airman
involuntarily separated entry-level for inability to
satisfactorily progress in a required training program without
characterization of service; or a first-term airman involuntarily
separated for failure to progress in military training required to
be qualified for service with the Air Force or performance of
primary duties).
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was meant to serve his country, apparently, not as a pararescue
jumper, perhaps as something else. He self-eliminated from
arguably the hardest military training program. Running and
completing push-ups is one thing; lasting through vigorous water
confidence sessions is another. This RE code is unjust
considering the difficulty he faces with joining the other
branches of service, to include trying to rejoin the Air Force.
The applicants complete submission, with attachments, is at
Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered the Air Force on 29 October 2013. On
28 February 2014, he was involuntarily separated for entry-level
performance or conduct, specifically reluctance to make the effort
necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty
performance. His narrative reason for separation was listed as
entry-level performance or conduct. His RE code was listed as 2C
and his service was uncharacterized. He was credited with
4 months and 2 days of active service.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant requests his RE code
be changed to 3A; however, that RE code is for members who are
discharged for inability to satisfactory progress in a required
training program, not who self-eliminate.
On 29 August 2012, the Air Staff added the meaning of RE code 3A
to be awarded to airmen who were still in their initial technical
school that fail out and are separated due to an inability to
satisfactorily progress in a required training program. However,
they wrote the guidance to specifically not include members who
self-eliminate; those members would continue to be awarded RE code
2C.
The applicant does not provide evidence of an error or an
injustice.
The complete AFPC/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 30 January 2015 for review and comment within 30 days
(Exhibit D). 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. We took
notice of the applicants 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 and
find the applicant has not been the victim of an error of
injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary,
we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.
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.
