RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2010-00620 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 a 3K (Secretarial Authority). _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He wants his RE code upgraded to reenter the Air Force. In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, and a radiology report. The applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 17 Jun 08, the applicant contracted his enlistment in the Regular Air Force. He served as a security forces helper. On 4 Nov 08, his commander notified him that he was recommending his discharge from the Air Force for erroneous enlistment. The specific reason for the discharge action was that on 17 Oct 08, he was diagnosed with a medical condition (migraines) that existed prior to his entering the Air Force. His commander advised him of his rights in this matter. On 4 Nov 08, he acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge and waived his right to military legal counsel and to submit a statement in his own behalf. On 5 Nov 08, the legal office reviewed the case and found it legally sufficient and recommended a entry level separation. On 12 Nov 08, the discharge authority directed an entry level separation without probation and rehabilitation. He was discharged on 18 Nov 08. He had served five months and two days of active service. _________________________________________________________________ AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant has not provided any evidence to show the RE code he received was an error or injustice. He was separated for erroneous entry due to an existing medical condition (migraines) that existed prior to his entering military service; and not for medical reasons which would require a medical discharge. The RE code of 2C is appropriate and is based on his being separated with an involuntary entry level separation. DPSOA further notes the applicant was notified that the type of separation and characterization of service was erroneously listed on his DD Form 214; and that it will be administratively corrected to reflect an entry level separation with uncharacterized service. The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: A copy of the Air Force evaluations was forwarded to the applicant on 10 Sep 10, for review and comment within 30 days. 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 an 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 and adopt its rationale as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of proof of the existence of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this application. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and that 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-2010-00620 in Executive Session on 14 Oct 10, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: The following documentary evidence was considered: Exhibit A.
