APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of 2C, which denotes “involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge; entry level separation 
without characterization of service,” be changed so he can 
reenter the military. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

His RE code should be changed to “NA” or any eligible RE code 
that makes him eligible for reenlistment. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty. 

 

The applicant's complete submission, with attachment, is at 
Exhibit A.

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 1 Jul 03, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. 

 

On 27 Aug 03, the applicant was diagnosed with an Adjustment 
Disorder with Depressed Mood and was recommended for discharge. 

 

On 12 Sep 03, the applicant was notified of pending discharge 
action based on his diagnosed Adjustment Disorder. He waived 
his right to consult counsel and to submit statements in his own 
behalf. 

 

On 16 Sep 03, the Chief of Adverse actions found the discharge 
legally sufficient and recommended discharge with an entry level 
separation. The discharge authority concurred and directed 
discharge. 

 


 

On 23 Sep 03, the applicant was discharged with an entry level 
separation with a narrative reason for separation of Personality 
Disorder and a RE code of 2C; however, in November 2003, his 
discharge was administratively corrected to reflect “Secretarial 
Authority” rather than “Personality Disorder.”

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

HQ AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial and states the applicant’s RE 
code is required based on his entry level separation with 
uncharacterized service in accordance with AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, Chapter 3. 

 

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 12 Nov 10 for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D). As of this date, this office has not received a 
response. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by 
existing law or regulations. 

 

2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the 
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file. 

 

3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to 
demonstrate the existence of 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 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 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.
