 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry-level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to one that will allow him 
to reenter the military. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He has matured since serving in the Air Force and respectfully 
requests to be provided another opportunity to serve in the Air 
Force or any other branch of the service. Serving in the civilian 
sector has validated his strong desire to be a part of one of the 
most highly respected branches of our military. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy his DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. 

 

His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant enlisted into the Regular Air Force on 4 Dec 07. The 
applicant was notified by his commander that he was recommending 
him for discharge from the Air Force under the provisions of AFPD 
36-32, Military Retirements and Separations, and AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, chapter 5, paragraph 5.22.2.3. 
The specific reason for this action was for being academically 
eliminated from the Electronic Principles portion of the Satellite, 
Wideband, and Telemetry Apprentice Course. The applicant was 
advised of his rights in this matter; however, he elected to waive 
his right to consult counsel and to submit statements on his 
behalf. His commander directed the applicant to be separated with 
an entry-level separation and uncharacterized service. The 
applicant was discharged on 7 Dec 08 after serving 4 months and 
4 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant was not 
recommended for further technical training. The applicant wanted 
to leave the Air Force and has not provided any evidence that an 
error or injustice occurred. 

 

The DPSOA complete 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 13 Aug 10 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this 
date, this office has received no response. 

 

___________________________________________________________________ 

 

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. Applicant’s 
contentions are duly noted; however, we are not persuaded that the 
applicant has been the victim of an error or injustice. At the 
time members are separated from the Air Force, they are furnished 
an RE code predicated upon the quality of their service and 
circumstances of their separation. After a thorough review of the 
evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances 
surrounding the applicant’s separation, the RE code issued was in 
accordance with the appropriate directives. Therefore, we find no 
basis upon which to recommend favorable action on 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.
