RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02639

			COUNSEL:  NONE

			HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) code be changed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The actions which resulted in his discharge do not warrant a RE 
code that prevents him from reentering the Armed Forces.  He 
would like to enlist in the United States Army.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 12 Jan 
10.

On 30 Jul 12, the applicant accepted an Article 15, Nonjudicial 
Punishment, for sleeping on post, a violation of Article 113 of 
the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).  He was reduced in 
grade to airman basic and ordered to forfeit $745.00 pay 
(suspended) and reprimanded.

On 4 Sep 12, the applicant was notified by his commander that he 
was being recommended for discharge for minor disciplinary 
infractions in accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative 
Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section H, paragraph 5.49.  The 
applicant consulted legal counsel and submitted a statement on 
his behalf.

On 12 Sep 12, the Staff Judge Advocate reviewed the discharge 
case and found it legally sufficient.  The discharge authority 
approved a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge for 
minor disciplinary infractions without probation or 
rehabilitation.  

On 21 Sep 12, the applicant was furnished a General (Under 
Honorable Conditions) discharge, and was credited with 2 years, 
8 months, and 10 days of active service.   

The applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge 
from Active Duty, reflects an RE code “2B” - Separated with a 
general or under-other-than-honorable-conditions (UOTHC) 
discharge.”  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice. 

The RE code “2B” is required in accordance with AFI 36-2606, 
Reenlistments in the United States Air Force, based on the 
applicant’s involuntary discharge with a General (Under 
Honorable Conditions) character of service.   If the applicant’s 
character of service is upgraded to Honorable by the Air Force 
Discharge Review Board or the Air Force Board Correction of 
Military Records now or at a later point, his RE code would 
automatically change to “2C” – “Involuntary separated with an 
Honorable discharge; or “Entry Level Separation without 
characterization of service” at that time.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA 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 17 Nov 14 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office.


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 opinion and 
recommendation of the Air Force office of primary responsibility 
(OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion 
the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice.  
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find 
no basis to recommend granting the requested relief.


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.
