IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-01071 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE 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 a code that will 
allow him to reenlist in the Air Force. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

Battlefield airman are extremely tough - mentally and physically 
with high washout rate jobs; however, he does not believe they 
should be discharged for attempting these career fields. He 
cannot reenlist with a 2C and would like to be able to serve in 
the Air Force in a better fitting job. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant received an uncharacterized entry level 
separation, on 14 Jul 10, for entry level performance and 
conduct and a RE code of 2C. He was credited with 3 months and 
29 days of active duty service.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial stating, in part, that the 2C is 
the appropriate RE code. 

 

They noted the applicant received an involuntary entry level 
separation on 14 Jul 10, after serving 3 months and 29 days of 
service with uncharacterized service. He received an RE code of 
2C based on his entry level separation with uncharacterized 
service. The commander directed the applicant be discharged for 
reluctance to make the effort necessary to meet Air Force 


standards of conduct and duty performance with an entry level 
separation. 

 

The applicant's RE code 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, chapter 3, based on his entry level 
separation with uncharacterized service. Per Fiscal Year 2011 
(FY11) prior service enlistment program guidance, prior service 
personnel with 2C can be given eligibility consideration for 
reentry. This consideration for waiver is a recruiter decision 
and does not (sic) mean they will be approved for reentry. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

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 opinion and recommendation 
of the Air Force office of primary responsibility and adopt its 
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that 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 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.
