RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-04281 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His Reentry (RE) Code “2C” which denotes “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge or entry level separation without characterization of service” be changed to “1” which denotes “Applicants Eligible for Immediate Reenlistment” to allow reenlistment in the Armed Forces. APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The RE code is unjust because the training course for Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 1T211, Pararescue, has a high wash out rate. He agrees with the prior service discharge but it is unjustifiable to not allow him to reenter in another career field. The applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A. STATEMENT OF FACTS: On 10 Jul 12, the applicant entered the Regular Air Force. On 11 Sep 12, the applicant was notified by his commander that he was recommending he be discharged In Accordance With (IAW) AFI 36-3208, Administrative Separation of Airmen, paragraph 5.22.2.4. The specific reason was the applicant self-eliminated from the Pararescue Development Course. As a result he was removed from training and not recommended for reclassification consideration. On 18 Sep 12, the assistant staff judge advocate found the discharge recommendation legally sufficient. On 25 Sep 12, the separation authority approved the discharge recommendation. On 28 Sep 12, he was discharged with a RE code of 2C. AIR FORCE EVALUATION: AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial of the applicant’s request to change his RE code to the 1# series. The applicant was involuntarily separated for “Entry level performance or conduct” and was discharged on 28 Sep 12 after serving 2 months and 19 days on active duty with an uncharacterized character of service. He received a RE code of “2C” as required by AFI 36- 2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, chapter 5 based on his ELS with uncharacterized character of service. On 25 Sep 12, the 37th Training Group Commander (37 TRG) directed he be discharged with an ELS for “reluctance to make the effort necessary to meet Air Force standards of conduct and duty performance.” AFI 36-2606, chapter 5 states not to separate airmen in the RE code 1# series except RE code “1J” which denotes “Eligible to reenlist but elects separation.” All airmen selected under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) and elect separation are given RE code “1J.” The applicant cannot be awarded a RE code “1J” as his commander recommended him for separation which is in line with being denied reenlistment by his commander under the SRP. RE code “2C” is the correct RE code. A complete copy of the 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 12 Jan 15 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 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.
