ADDENDUM TO RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2005-02449 INDEX CODE: 112.00 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NONE ________________________________________________________________ _ 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 a code that would allow him to reenlist. ________________________________________________________________ _ STATEMENT OF FACTS: A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 20 October 2005. For an accounting of the facts and circumstances surrounding the applicant’s appeal and the rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record of Proceedings at Exhibit E. The applicant submitted a letter, with attachments, through his Congressman’s office requesting reconsideration of his case. He indicates he is an addiction therapist for the Department of Veterans Affairs at the Community Based Outpatient Clinic. Prior to joining the Air Force he received two traffic violations. He informed his recruiter of each incident and the recruiter instructed him to go to basic training and not reveal information about the traffic violations unless asked. During basic training he was called in the commander’s office and was told he would be receiving a discharge for erroneous enlistment. Unfortunately, he was young and did not understand his rights to challenge this decision. He now seeks to reenlist. As a licensed clinical social worker and a state certified substance abuse counselor, he believes he would be an asset to the military if he were allowed to reenlist. However, his RE code is hindering him from reenlisting. In support of his request, the applicant submits copies of his resume, the previous Board’s decision and Congressional correspondence. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit F. ________________________________________________________________ _ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: In an earlier finding, the Board determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant any corrective action. After thoroughly reviewing the additional documentation submitted in support of this appeal and the evidence of record, we do not believe the applicant has overcome the rationale expressed in the previous decision. Therefore, we do not find the additional evidence presented is sufficient to compel us to recommend granting the relief sought on that basis. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis upon which to recommend favorable consideration of the applicant’s request. ________________________________________________________________ _ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of an 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. ________________________________________________________________ _ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2005-02449 in Executive Session on 8 July 2010, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: XXXXXXXXXXXX, Panel Chair XXXXXXXXXXXX, Member XXXXXXXXXXXX, Member The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit E.
