RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:				DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2011-01355

								COUNSEL: NONE

								HEARING DESIRED:  NO

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

His reentry (RE) code “2C” (involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge; or entry level separation without 
characterization of service) be changed to allow him to reenter 
the military.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The unfounded code of “2C” prohibits him from re-entering all 
military branches.  During his service, he never relinquished 
time, rank or money because of disciplinary issues.  He 
completed Phase I training and was not able to complete further 
training due to conjecture of superiors.  The Air Force would 
not reclassify him to allow him to complete his six year 
contractual obligation.  

During his time as an Aerospace Medical Service Helper, he 
successfully processed 1000 appointments while maintaining 
100 percent patient satisfaction.  He filed 2000 medical 
documents and transferred treatment charts.  He also managed 
logs and was lauded for maintaining Air Force standards of 
95 percent.  These accomplishments prove he has valuable talents 
to offer.  He wants to complete his time in the National Guard 
or Reserves.  A change in his RE code will allow him to do so.

The applicant provides no supporting documentation.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 3 November 
2009.  He was progressively promoted to the grade of Airman 
First Class, E-3.  On 28 January 2011, he was discharged for 
unsatisfactory performance.  He received an honorable discharge 
and was assigned an RE code of “2C.”  He was credited with 1 
year, 2 months and 26 days of active duty service.
________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial.  The applicant’s RE Code is 
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the USAF, based on 
his involuntary discharge with an honorable character of 
service.  Each branch of the service decides which RE codes they 
will waive.  RE Code “2C” is a waiverable code; however, that 
does not mean RE code “2C” will be waived for everyone.  That 
decision is made by Recruiting Services.  

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 24 June 2011, for review and comment within 30 days 
(Exhibit D).  As of this date, this office has received no 
response.

________________________________________________________________

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 error or injustice.  We took notice 
of the applicant’s submission in judging the merits of the case; 
however, we do not find his assertions sufficiently persuasive 
to override the rationale provided by AFPC/DPSOA.  Therefore, we 
agree with the opinion and recommendation of AFPC/DPSOA and 
adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion that it is 
more appropriate for the applicant to seek a waiver of his RE 
code from recruiting services.  In the absence of evidence to 
the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the relief 
sought.

________________________________________________________________

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.
