STATEMENT OF FACTS: 

 

On 18 Aug 99, the applicant contracted his initial enlistment in 
the Regular Air Force. He was progressively promoted to the 
grade of senior airman having assumed the grade effective and 
with a date of rank of 11 Dec 06. 

 

On 2 Mar 07, the applicant’s commander initiated an AF IMT 418, Selective Reenlistment Program Consideration, and did not select 
him for reenlistment. The basis for the nonselection was that he 
received an Article 15 for failure to pay his government travel 
card in a timely manner and assaulting his wife. 

 

On 3 Apr 07, he received an Article 15 for failure to report to 
work at the scheduled time on 29 Mar 07, after he had already 
been nonselected for reenlistment. 

 

On 15 Apr 07, the applicant received a referral enlisted 
performance report (EPR) with a mark down reflecting “Failure to 
meet minimum standards” in reference to his dress and appearance, 
weight and fitness, customs, and courtesies. He also received a 


mark down of “Unacceptable” in reference to his on/off duty 
conduct. 

 

On 1 Aug 07, he was honorably discharged. He served 7 years, 11 
months and 14 days on active duty.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states in accordance with 
AFI 36-2602, Reenlistment in the USAF, commanders have selective 
reenlistment selection or nonselection authority. The SRP 
considers the service members EPR ratings, unfavorable 
information from any substantiated sources, the service member’s 
willingness to comply with AF standards and the service member’s 
ability or lack of to meet required training and duty performance 
levels. 

 

The AFPC/DPSOA complete evaluation is at Exhibit C. 

 

AFPC/DPSOS recommends denial. DPSOS states based on the 
documentation in his master military personnel records, to 
include his discharge and separation code was consistent with the 
procedural and substantive requirements of the discharge 
instruction and was within the discretion of the discharge 
authority. The applicant did not provide any evidence of an

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 opinions and the 
recommendations of the Air Force offices of primary 
responsibility and adopt their rationale as the basis for our 


conclusion that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden of 
proof of the existence of an error or injustice. Therefore, in 
the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to 
recommend granting the relief sought in this application. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT: 

 

The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not 
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that 
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and 
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the 
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered 
with this application.
