RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 			DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2015-00162

					COUNSEL:  NONE

					HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Reentry (RE) code of 2C, which denotes "Involuntarily 
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation 
without characterization of service” be removed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She understands her RE code is not in error.  She has matured 
since her discharge and would be an asset to the Air Force.

The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

On 12 October 1994, the applicant enlisted in the Regular Air 
Force.

On 1 December 2000, her commander notified her that he was 
recommending she be discharged under the provisions of AFPD 36-
32, Military Retirements and Separations, and AFI 36-3208, 
Administrative Separation of Airmen.  The specific reason for 
this action was that on or about 15 September 2000, the 
applicant wrongfully used marijuana.

On 1 December 2000, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the 
discharge notification and did not wish to submit matters in her 
behalf.  She also waived her right to a discharge board hearing 
contingent upon receipt of an honorable discharge.

On 12 December 2000, the discharge authority directed the 
applicant be discharged for drug abuse, with an honorable 
character of service, without probation and rehabilitation.

?
On 18 December 2000, the applicant was honorably discharged from 
the Air Force in the grade of senior airman (E-4) with an RE 
Code of 2C.  Her narrative reason for separation is 
“Misconduct.”  She was credited with six years, two months and 
seven days of active duty.


AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice.  The applicant’s RE code of 2C is 
required per AFI 36-2606, Reenlistments in the United States Air 
Force, based on her involuntary discharge with an honorable 
character of service.

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


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 2 July 2015, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded 
to the applicant 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 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.  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 the rationale expressed 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.
