RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2009-00943 COUNSEL: NONE HEARING DESIRED: NO ________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 6C (Automatically generated by the Military Personnel Data System (MILPDS) 12 months prior to ETS — Member has not been interviewed by Commander in accordance with ANG Instruction 36-2607) be changed to reflect 6B (Member has been selected to reenlist by Commander — Member voluntarily selects to be separated/discharged at expiration of term of service (ETS).) _________________________________________________________________ APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: The accusations of him defrauding the government are not grounds to deny him reenlistment. The applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A. _________________________________________________________________ STATEMENT OF FACTS: The applicant enlisted in the Air National Guard (ANG) on 24 Oct 01 for a period of six years. On 26 Dec 06, he was demoted to the grade of airman first class (E-3) in the Oregon Air National Guard (ANG) effective and with a date of rank of 24 Apr 06. He was released from the ANG in the grade of senior airman (E-4), on 23 Oct 07, for Expiration of Enlistment with an honorable discharge characterization and an RE code of 6C. _________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT: 1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or regulations. 2. The application was timely. 3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice to warrant changing the applicant’s RE code. In this respect, we note the applicant was assigned an RE code of 6C, which indicates the RE code was automatically generated by MILPDS 12 months prior to his expiration term of service. It appears his RE code should have been updated prior to his separation; however, based on an administrative error, this action was not taken. Further, since there is no evidence the applicant was denied reenlistment by his commander, we believe his RE code should be changed to one that would provide him an opportunity to reenlist should he choose to do so. Therefore, we recommend his records be corrected to the extent indicated below. ________________________________________________________________ THE BOARD RECOMMENDS: The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that at the time of his discharge from the Air National Guard on 23 October 2007, he was issued a reenlistment eligibility code of “6B”. _______________________________________________________________ The following members of the Board considered AFBCMR Docket Number BC-2009-00943 in Executive Session on 26 Jan 10, under the provisions of AFI 36-2603: , Panel Chair , Member , Member All members voted to correct the record, as recommended.
