RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-05231 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Reentry (RE) code of 4C (Separated for concealment of juvenile records, minority, failure to meet physical standards for enlistment, failure to attain a 9.0 reading grade level as measured by the Air Force Reading Abilities Test, or void enlistments) be changed to allow her to reenter the military. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her discharge paperwork indicates that she is eligible for reenlistment with an approved waiver once her medical condition is corrected. In support of her request, She also provides copies an SF Form 600, Chronological Record of Medical Care, dated 20 Sep 13, signed by physicians prior to her discharge stating “We recommend re-enlistment in the future, after condition is resolved and there are no symptoms, which could take several months,” and a notification of discharge memorandum from her former commander, dated 7 Oct 13, stating her discharge would be described as an entry level separation and she would be eligible to re-enlist into the Air Force with an approved waiver. The applicant also provides lab work dated 27 Apr 14, that reflects “Normal with no significant abnormalities.” The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: According to the applicant’s DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, on 3 Sep 13, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force. On 7 Oct 13, the applicant’s commander notified her that he was recommending her discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. The specific reason for this action was a medical evaluation found she did not meet minimum medical standards to join the Air Force due to having anemia. On 8 Oct 13, the discharge authority directed the applicant be discharged with an entry-level separation. On 10 Oct 13, the applicant received an entry-level separation with uncharacterized service, and an RE code of “4C.” AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant received an erroneous RE code of “4C” on her DD Form 214. The correct RE code should have been “2C” (Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service). The RE code “2C” is required based on the entry level separation with uncharacterized service. The “2” series RE codes have priority over 1, 3, and 4 RE codes. The applicant does not provide any evidence of an error or injustice to support a change of RE code. Unless otherwise directed by the Board, AFPC/DPSOR will provide the applicant a corrected copy of her DD Form 214 with an RE code of “2C.” The complete 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 25 Mar 15 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 note the applicant’s discharge documents indicate that she is eligible for reenlistment with an approved waiver once her medical condition is corrected. However, rather than to change the applicant’s RE code from the correct code that accurately describes the circumstances surrounding her separation, she could apply to HQ Recruiting Service for a waiver. Therefore, 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 failed to sustain her burden of proof that she has been the victim of an error of injustice. Aside from the administrative correction to change her RE code to 2C, 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.
