IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-04510
		COUNSEL:  NONE
	HEARING DESIRED:  NO

______________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) code of 2C, which denotes "Involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation 
without characterization of service," be changed to allow his 
reentry into the military.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Family problems coupled with his being malnourished and 
dehydrated sent him over the edge.  He now feels he is 
100 percent better and is ready to rejoin the military.

In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty, and AF IMT 100, Request and Authorization for Separation. 

His complete submission, with attachments is at Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 24 April 2012, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air 
Force.

On 18 July 2012, his commander notified him that he was 
recommending he be discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-
3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen.  The specific reason 
for this action is reflected in the Notification Memorandum at 
Exhibit B.

On 18 July 2012, he acknowledged receipt of the discharge 
notification.

On 19 July 2012, the Staff Judge Advocate found the discharge 
legally sufficient.

On 25 July 2012, the applicant was discharged from the Air 
Force, with “uncharacterized service.”  His narrative reason for 
separation is Adjustment Disorder.  He served three months and 
two days of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  DPSOA states that in accordance 
with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, RE code 2C is driven 
by the applicant’s entry level separation with an 
uncharacterized character of service.  Moreover, RE code 2C 
applies to all entry level separations without characterization 
of service regardless of whether the discharge is voluntary or 
involuntary.

The complete DPSOA evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 9 November 2012, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was 
forwarded to the applicant for review and comment within 
30 days.  As of this date, no response has been received by this 
office (Exhibit D).

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 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 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.
