APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “2C” be changed 
to a “1J” to allow her to reenlist in the Air Force.

_____ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

She was not mentally prepared for basic training due to 
high anxiety and depression after losing everything in 
Hurricane Katrina. She was told she should go home and 
deal with the issues of Katrina and try again in a few 
years. She is older, more mature, and 100 percent positive 
that this is something she wants to do. She is more 
prepared for what to expect mentally, physically, and 
emotionally. 

 

In support of her request, the applicant provides an 
expanded statement and copies of two letters of support. 

 

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

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

The applicant’s military personnel records indicate she 
enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 12 Feb 08 as an airman 
basic (E-1) for a period of four years. 

 

On 25 Feb 08, the applicant was notified by her commander 
of his intent to recommend her entry level separation for a 
condition that interferes with military service, 
specifically a mental disorder. The applicant subsequently 
acknowledged receipt of the action and waived her right to 
consult with legal counsel. 

 


On 26 Feb 08, the case was found to be legally sufficient 
and the discharge authority approved the commander’s 
recommendation on 28 Feb 08. 

 

On 29 Feb 08, the applicant was furnished an Entry Level 
Separation with uncharacterized service and was credited 
with 19 days of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFRC/A1K recommends denial, indicating the applicant did 
not provide any documentation that would serve as the basis 
for the correction requested. The applicant’s RE code of 
“2C” is accurate and, by design, does in fact preclude her 
from reentering the Air Force or Air Force Reserve. 

 

A complete copy of the AFRC/A1K evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to 
applicant on 14 May 10 for review and comment within 30 
days. As of this date, no response has been received by 
this office (Exhibit D).

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 
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 conclusion that the applicant has not been the 
victim of an error or injustice. Therefore, in the absence 
of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis for us 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.
