RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-04550 

 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His Reentry (RE) Code of 2C (involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge) on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release 
or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed so he can re-enlist in 
any branch of the service. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His Re Code is unjust. His record was clean when he joined the 
Air Force and it remained clean when he left, with no 
disciplinary actions of any kind. There are people who have 
been discharged for fighting or violating the Uniform Code of 
Military Justice (UCMJ) who received a better RE Code. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
Recommendation for Discharge letter. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant entered the Air Force on 18 May 10. 

 

On 14 Dec 10, his commander notified him he was recommending his 
discharge for unsatisfactory performance. The basis for the 
action was that he failed to make satisfactory performance in 
the Aerospace Medical Service Apprentice (Phase I) Course. 
Specifically, he failed the National Registry Emergency Medical 
Technicians written exam four times. Prior to disenrollment, he 
was washed back twice and received 79.5 hours of additional 
instruction and counseling. He acknowledged that he consulted 
with counsel, and waived his right to submit a statement. 

 

On 20 Dec 10, the case was reviewed and found to be legally 
sufficient, his commander recommended he be discharged with an 


honorable service characterization, and the discharge authority 
directed he be furnished an Honorable discharge on 21 Dec 10. 

 

On 23 Dec 10, he was honorably discharged for unsatisfactory 
performance, issued an RE Code of 2C, and was credited with 
seven months, and six days of active service. 

 

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
described in the letters prepared by the Air Force offices of 
primary responsibility (OPR) which are attached at Exhibits C 
and D.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. The discharge record reveals the 
applicant was counseled and afforded an opportunity to improve 
his performance, but the results were negative. There was no 
evidence of an error or injustice in the processing of the 
discharge action, nor did the applicant submit any such 
evidence. Based on the documentation on file in his master 
personnel records, the discharge was consistent with the 
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge 
regulation and was within the discretion of the discharge 
authority. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOS evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice. Everyone involuntarily separated from 
the Air Force with an honorable character of service receives an 
RE Code of 2C per AFI 36-2606, Reelistments in the USAF, 
Chapter 3. The applicant does not provide proof of an error or 
injustice in reference to his RE Code. 

 

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the 
applicant on 1 Mar 12 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 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 opinions and 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility (OPR) 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 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 the 
application.
