RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00407 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO 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 code that would allow him to reenlist. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was diagnosed with Planter Fasciitis which is a chronic condition. Upon returning home, a civilian doctor diagnosed him with a left Calcaneus stress fracture which is no longer an issue. In support of his request, the applicant provides copies of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge From Active Duty;, memorandums, and correspondence from a civilian medical provider stating in part that the applicant was evaluated and deemed able to return to work at full capacity as of 10 Jun 14. 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 1 Jul 13, he entered the Regular Air Force. On 30 Jan 14, the applicant’s commander notified him that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. The specific reason for this action is the applicant was diagnosed with recurrent/chronic left foot plantar fasciitis and was unable to complete military training. On 9 Feb 14, the discharge authority directed the applicant be honorably discharged. On 11 Feb 14, the applicant received an honorable discharge, with a RE code of 2C and was credited with 7 months and 11 days of total active service. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant does not provide any proof of an error or injustice in reference to his RE code. The RE code 2C is based on his involuntary discharge with honorable character of service, not a medical condition. 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 9 Jul 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice warranting relief. Although the applicant has not provided sufficient evidence to show that his separation was improper or not in compliance with the appropriate regulations, it is our opinion that relief is warranted in this case. In that regard, the medical documentation provided by the applicant establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that a reenlistment code precluding reenlistment is an injustice. Evidence that he may not have a chronic condition, coupled with his honorable service characterization, convinced us that a good probability exists that he may be able to provide effective and meaningful service to our nation as a member of the armed forces. Accordingly, we believe that correction of his RE code to a waiverable code is warranted. Whether or not he is successful in his attempts to return to the military will depend on the needs of the service and our recommendation in no way guarantees that he will be allowed to return to any branch of service. Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected to the extent indicated below. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that on 11 Feb 14, he was discharged with a RE code of 3K (Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the AFBCMR when no other RE code applies or is appropriate).
