RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03926
XXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reentry (RE) code of 2C, which denotes Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation
without characterization of service be changed.
His separation code of JGA, which denotes Entry Level
Performance and Conduct be changed.
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He did not require a waiver to join the Air Force and would like
his current RE and separation codes changed. He did what he was
told and was not insubordinate. He wants to serve his country and
a change in his RE and separation codes will allow him to join
other branches of the service without requiring a waiver.
In support of his requests, the applicant provides a copy of his
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty.
His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
On 23 June 2014, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force.
In an undated letter, the applicants commander notified him that
he was recommending he be discharged from the Air Force under the
provisions of AFPD 36-32, Military Retirements and Separations and
AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph
5.22.2, with an Entry Level Separation. The specific reasons
for this action was the applicants unsatisfactory conduct and
performances as documented in a Letter of Reprimand dated 27 June
2014, a Letter for Counseling dated 11 July 2014, and negative
comments reflected on his BMT Form 105a, Basic Training Record.
On 30 July 2014, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
discharge notification and on 4 August 2014, he indicated that he
consulted with legal counsel and submitted statements in his
behalf.
On 6 August 2014, the assistant staff judge advocate found the
discharge legally sufficient.
On 27 August 2014, the discharge authority directed that the
applicant be administratively discharged with an Entry Level
Separation.
On 27 August 2014, the applicant received an Entry Level
Separation with uncharacterized service. The narrative reason
for separation is Entry Level Performance and Conduct. His RE
code is 2C. He served 2 months and 25 days of active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial of the applicants request to change
his separation code or character of service indicating there is no
evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant committed a
plethora of infractions from the time he arrived in basic military
training until the time he was discharged. He was counseled on
numerous occasions and failed his first appraisal inspection after
receiving a total of 14 demerits and several safety violations
involving his weapon. Efforts to rehabilitate him through
counseling were not successful. Therefore, the commander
concluded that he was not qualified for continued service in the
Air Force. Airmen are given entry-level
separation/uncharacterized service characterizations when
separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous
active service. The Department of Defense determined if a member
served less than 180 days of continuous active service; it would
be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their
limited service.
The complete DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D.
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicants request to change
his RE code. He received an RE code of 2C, as required by AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air Force, based on his
involuntary discharge with an uncharacterized character of
service.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 26 January 2015, copies of the Air Force evaluations were
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 30 days.
As of this date, no response has been received by this office
(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. 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 opinions and recommendations
of the Air Force offices of primary responsibility and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. 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.
The following members of the Board considered this application in
