RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 		DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04050

				COUNSEL:  NONE

				HEARING DESIRED:  NO 


APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Reentry (RE) Code “2B” be changed to a code that will allow 
reentry into the military.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His only desire is to rejoin the military so he can contribute 
to the protection of our country.  Even after he received his 
punishment, his last commander did not want to discharge him; 
however, the perception to do otherwise would have been bad for 
the squadron.  They wanted him to push to get back in because he 
deserved to serve in the Air Force.  

In support of his request, the applicant provided a copy of a 
Report of Results of Trial, dated 31 Jan 14,  copies of his DD 
Form 214, Certificate of Release or Transfer from Active Duty, 
and a copy of an Unsworn Written Statement.

The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at 
Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant initially entered the Regular Air Force on 1 May 
12.

On 29 Jul 13, the applicant received a Letter of Admonishment 
from his commander for failing to be a good wingman.  

On 11 Mar 14, the applicant was found guilty by a Special Court-
Martial for making a false official statement a violation of 
Article 107 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.  He was 
sentenced to a reduction in grade to airman, ordered to forfeit 
$500 per month for three months, and restricted to base for 30 
days.  

On 28 Mar 14, the applicant was notified by his commander that 
he was recommending him for discharge for Misconduct (Serious 
Offense) in accordance with AFI 36-3208, Administrative 
Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, paragraph 5.52.4.  The 
applicant consulted counsel and submitted a statement on his 
behalf.

On 8 Apr 14, the Deputy Staff Judge Advocate reviewed the case 
and found it legally sufficient.  The discharge authority 
directed a General (Under Honorable Conditions) discharge 
without probation and rehabilitation.

On 22 Apr 14, the applicant was furnished a General (Under 
Honorable Conditions) discharge, and was credited with 1 year, 
11 months, and 22 days of active service.   

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are 
contained in the memorandum prepared by the Air Force office of 
primary responsibility (OPR), which is attached at Exhibit C.    


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or an injustice.  

The applicant was involuntarily discharged for Misconduct 
(Serious Offense) and received a RE code of “2B” based on his 
General discharge characterization of service.  The applicant 
does not contend that any error or injustice had occurred; only 
that he wants to return to military service.

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

In response to the Air Force Advisory, the applicant provided 
four Letters of Recommendations and a Letter of Appreciation for 
the Board’s consideration.  


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, to include his 
rebuttal comments, 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 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.
