ADDENDUM TO
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2001-03277

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

In the applicant’s request for reconsideration, he requests his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “2C” be changed to “1.”
_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant was discharged with an honorable discharge on 12 February 2001 due to a personality disorder.  An RE code of 2C was assigned, which defined means “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service.”  At the time of his separation, he was credited with 6 months and 16 days of active duty service.

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 1 May 2002.  For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation, and, the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit F.

Inasmuch as the applicant’s current application, submitted through his congressman, contains the same request which was previously considered by the Board, it is being processed as a request for reconsideration of the initial application.  In support of his appeal, the applicant submitted a statement from a former co-worker.  The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit G.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

After again reviewing this application and the evidence provided in support of the appeal, we remain unpersuaded that the applicant’s reenlistment code was erroneous or unjust.  The applicant was recommended for separation because of a condition that interfered with his ability to adjust to the military environment.  We have noted the complimentary comments contained in the supporting letter submitted by the applicant.  However, it does not convince us that he has overcome the difficulties which he incurred as a military member or that he could perform satisfactorily in the highly structured, demanding military environment.  In view of the above and because his RE code accurately reflects the circumstances of his separation at that time, we conclude that no basis exists upon which to recommend favorable action on the applicant’s reconsideration request for upgrade of his RE code.
_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of probable 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.
