ADDENDUM TO 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2011-00249 

 COUNSEL: NONE 

 HEARING DESIRED: NO 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

Her Reentry (RE) code of 2C (involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) be upgraded. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

A similar appeal was considered and denied by the Board on 
16 August 2011. For an accounting of the facts and 
circumstances surrounding the applicant’s separation, and, the 
rationale of the earlier decision by the Board, see the Record 
of Proceedings at Exhibit F. 

 

The applicant submits a request for reconsideration, contending 
that her RE code was based on the recently repealed Don’t Ask 
Don’t Tell (DADT) category. She desires to recommit herself to 
the military and would like to apply to the Air National Guard. 
This is her second request, for the first request was denied 
just prior to the repeal of DADT. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit G. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 

 

In an earlier finding, prior to the repeal of DADT, the Board 
determined there was insufficient evidence to warrant corrective 
action. We have reviewed the applicant’s statements indicating 
the Board’s determination that subsequent to the repeal of DADT 
she should resubmit her request. Based on the repeal of DADT, 
the Department of Defense issued policy guidance that Service 
Discharge Review Boards should normally grant requests to re-
characterize the discharge to honorable, when both of the 
following conditions are met: (1) the original discharge was 
based solely on DADT or a similar policy in place prior to 
enactment of DADT and (2) there were no aggravating factors in 
the record, such as misconduct. Based on our review of the 
evidence of record, the applicant’s discharge meets these 


requirements. Therefore, we recommend her records be corrected 
as indicated below. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT: 

 

The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air 
Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to reflect that on 
3 Feb 94, she was discharged under the provisions of AFR 39-10, 
with a reason for separation of Secretarial Authority, with the 
corresponding separation code of KFF, and a reentry (RE) code of 
1J.
