RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 				DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04281

 						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) Code “2C” which denotes “Involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge or entry level separation 
without characterization of service” be changed to “1” which 
denotes “Applicants Eligible for Immediate Reenlistment” to 
allow reenlistment in the Armed Forces.  


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The RE code is unjust because the training course for Air Force 
Specialty Code (AFSC) 1T211, Pararescue, has a high wash out 
rate. 

He agrees with the prior service discharge but it is 
unjustifiable to not allow him to reenter in another career 
field.  

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 10 Jul 12, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. 

On 11 Sep 12, the applicant was notified by his commander that 
he was recommending he be discharged In Accordance With (IAW) 
AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 
5.22.2.4.  The specific reason was the applicant self-eliminated 
from the Pararescue Development Course.  As a result he was 
removed from training and not recommended for reclassification 
consideration.   

On 18 Sep 12, the assistant staff judge advocate found the 
discharge recommendation legally sufficient.

On 25 Sep 12, the separation authority approved the discharge 
recommendation.  

On 28 Sep 12, he was discharged with a RE code of 2C.  


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request to 
change his RE code to the 1# series.  The applicant was 
involuntarily separated for “Entry level performance or conduct” 
and was discharged on 28 Sep 12 after serving 2 months and 
19 days on active duty with an uncharacterized character of 
service.  He received a RE code of “2C” as required by AFI 36-
2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, chapter 5 based on his ELS with 
uncharacterized character of service.  

On 25 Sep 12, the 37th Training Group Commander (37 TRG) directed 
he be discharged with an ELS for “reluctance to make the effort 
necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty 
performance.”   AFI 36-2606, chapter 5 states not to separate 
airmen in the RE code 1# series except RE code “1J” which 
denotes “Eligible to reenlist but elects separation.”  All 
airmen selected under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) 
and elect separation are given RE code “1J.”  The applicant 
cannot be awarded a RE code “1J” as his commander recommended 
him for separation which is in line with being denied 
reenlistment by his commander under the SRP.  RE code “2C” is 
the correct RE code.

A complete copy of the 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 12 Jan 15 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 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 
and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 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.

Number BC-2014-04281 in Executive Session on 10 Jun 15 under the
