RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-02863 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 3A (first-term airman involuntarily separated entry-level for inability to satisfactorily progress in a required training program without characterization of service; or a first-term airman involuntarily separated for failure to progress in military training required to be qualified for service with the Air Force or performance of primary duties). APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: He was meant to serve his country, apparently, not as a pararescue jumper, perhaps as something else. He self-eliminated from arguably the hardest military training program. Running and completing push-ups is one thing; lasting through vigorous water confidence sessions is another. This RE code is unjust considering the difficulty he faces with joining the other branches of service, to include trying to rejoin the Air Force. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant entered the Air Force on 29 October 2013. On 28 February 2014, he was involuntarily separated for entry-level performance or conduct, specifically reluctance to make the effort necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty performance. His narrative reason for separation was listed as entry-level performance or conduct. His RE code was listed as 2C and his service was uncharacterized. He was credited with 4 months and 2 days of active service. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. The applicant requests his RE code be changed to 3A; however, that RE code is for members who are discharged for inability to satisfactory progress in a required training program, not who self-eliminate. On 29 August 2012, the Air Staff added the meaning of RE code 3A to be awarded to airmen who were still in their initial technical school that fail out and are separated due to an inability to satisfactorily progress in a required training program. However, they wrote the guidance to specifically not include members who self-eliminate; those members would continue to be awarded RE code 2C. The applicant does not provide evidence of an error or an injustice. The complete AFPC/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 30 January 2015 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit D). As of this date, no response has been received by this office. 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 (OPR) and adopt its rationale as the basis for our conclusion and find the applicant has not been the victim of an error of injustice. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend granting the requested relief. 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.
