RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:			DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2015-03056
			
						COUNSEL:  NONE

						HEARING DESIRED:  NO

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code 2G (Participating in or failed the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT) program for drugs, or has failed to complete the ADAPT program.) be changed to an RE code allowing him to reenlist in the military.

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The U.S. Army rejected his enlistment due to his RE code of 2G.  When he out processed from the Air Force, he was told that he could reenlist in any military branch except the Air Force six months after his discharge.  He wants to serve his country, but the RE code 2G prevents him from doing so.  

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 9 Sep 14.  

On 1 Oct 14, the applicant was furnished an Entry Level Separation (ELS) discharge, with uncharacterized service, and was not credited with any active service due to fraudulent enlistment.  He received an RE code on his DD Form 214 of 2G.  

In accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, Airmen are given entry-level separation (ELS)/uncharacterized service characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days of continuous active service.  The Department of Defense (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their limited service.

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

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DP3ST, after reviewing the applicant’s military personnel records, determined there is evidence of an administrative error. The applicant was discharged for Fraudulent Entry into Military Service, Drug Abuse with an entry level separation and uncharacterized character of service.  Although he was on active duty from 9 Sep 14 to 1 Oct 14 (22 days) he was not credited with any service time due to the fraudulent enlistment.  He received an erroneous RE code on his DD Form 214 of 2G.  His correct RE code should be 2C--(Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service), as required by table 5.2 based on his entry level separation with uncharacterized character of service.  Unless otherwise directed, AFPC/DPSOR will provide the applicant a corrected copy of his DD Form 214 with a RE code of 2C.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DP3ST 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 10 Dec 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 warranting action by the Board.  We note the Air Force Office of primary responsibility (OPR) indicates the applicant’s currently assigned RE code of “2G” is incorrect and that they will administratively correct it to reflect “2C” unless otherwise advised by this Board. We concur with the administrative correction proposed by the OPR.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting any relief beyond that rendered administratively.

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.
