RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-03745 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of “2C” be changed so she may reenter another branch of the military. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: Her RE code is unjust because she was not offered the opportunity to reclassify into another career field after failing a test in technical training. She asked for a different job but was only offered the opportunity to wash back [restart] to the first week of training or be separated. She still wants to serve her country but not in the career field. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 9 Nov 10, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. On 25 Mar 11, the applicant's commander notified her she was recommending her for discharge for failure to make satisfactory progress in technical training. The basis for this action was multiple incidents of failing to meet academic standards of the Course. On 28 Mar 11, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the notification of discharge and was afforded the opportunity to consult with legal counsel and elected to submit statements on her own behalf. On 1 Apr 11, the discharge was found legally sufficient. On 7 Apr 11, the discharge authority approved the entry level separation. On 11 Apr 11, the applicant was furnished an entry level separation, with uncharacterized character of service, for termination of initial active duty training, with an RE code of 2C, and was credited with five months and three days of active service. The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the memoranda prepared by the Air Force offices of primary responsibility (OPR), which are attached at Exhibits C and D. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. On 7 Apr 11, the discharge authority directed applicant be discharge with an entry level separation. The applicant received an involuntary discharge with a narrative reason for separation of “Termination of Initial Active duty Training” on 11 Apr 11 after serving 5 months and 3 days of service with an uncharacterized character of service. The RE code “2C” is the correct RE code based on applicant's involuntary discharge with honorable character of service. Further, the applicant does not provide any proof of an error or injustice. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of an error or an injustice. The applicant's commander notified her on 25 Mar 11, she was recommending her for discharge for failure to make satisfactory progress in the Apprentice Course. The basis for this action was the applicant twice failed the Physics 101 component of training. Prior to her disenrollment, the applicant was afforded opportunities to overcome her deficiencies. She attended test taking and study skills that was given during her in-processing briefing. She also received four hours of special individualized assistance. She was given various websites and tools to help identify her best learning environment and counseled regarding her academic deficiencies. Finally, she participated in group study. None of these efforts met with success. The applicant's commander determined that the she was unwilling or unable to comply with Air Force standards of performance and conduct. In accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5.2.2.1, airmen are given entry-level separation/uncharacterized service characterization when separation is initiated in the first 180 days continuous active service. The Department of Defense (DoD) determined if a member served less than 180 days continuous active service, it would be unfair to the member and the service to characterize their limited service. Because the applicant was only on active duty for 137 days when the discharge action was initiated on 15 Feb 12, the entry-level separation/uncharacterized service characterization on her DD Form 214 is correct and in accordance with DoD and Air Force instructions. The discharge, to include the Separation Program Designator (SPD) code, narrative reason for separation and character of service was appropriately administered and within the discretion of the discharge authority. A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation is at Exhibit D. APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on 24 Nov 14 for review and comment within 30 days (Exhibit E). 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 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 an error or injustice.
