RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

 AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

 

IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-01721 

 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 RE code of 1 
(eligible). 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He believes his RE code of 2C is unjust and that he should be 
given an RE code that would allow him to continue a career in 
the armed forces. 

 

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

Based on the available records, the applicant enlisted in the 
Regular Air Force, on 4 Jan 11, for a period of six years. 

 

On 11 Jul 11, the discharge authority directed the applicant be 
discharged with an entry level separation. The specific reason 
was that the discharge authority found him unsuitable for 
further military service. 

 

On 15 Jul 11, the applicant received an uncharacterized entry 
level separation, by reason of “Entry Level Performance and 
Conduct,” and was issued an RE code of 2C. He was credited with 
6 months and 12 days of active duty service.

THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, stating, in part, the applicant’s 
RE code of 2C is based on the applicant receiving an entry level 
separation without service characterization. 

 

The RE code 2C is required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the 
USAF, chapter 5, and the applicant did not provide any evidence 
of an error or injustice. The fact the applicant does not 


believe his RE code is just, does not make it unjust. 
Additionally, the RE code of 2C can be waived if recruiting 
service of any component of the military decides it’s 
appropriate in the applicant’s case. 

 

The complete AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF THE AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 30 May 12 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 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 
their 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 to recommend granting the relief sought in this 
application. 

 

________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; the 
application was denied without a personal appearance; and the 
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of 
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this 
application.
