_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT: 

 

His reentry (RE) code of “2X” (First-term, second-term, or career 
airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the 
SRP) be changed to one that will allow him to reenter the 
military. 

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: 

 

He is currently completing his college degree and is attempting 
to enlist in the Air National Guard. He would like to use his 
skills and knowledge to better the U.S. defense. However, he and 
his recruiter are not sure why he was coded with an RE code that 
does not allow him to reenlist into the military. He would like 
to give back to his country for all his country has given him. 

 

In support of his request, the applicant provides a copy of his 
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active 
Duty. 

 

His complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial. DPSOA states the applicant was 
separated after completing his 4 year enlistment; however, he 
received an RE code of “2X” making him ineligible to reenlist. 
After a thorough review of the applicant’s record, DPSOA was 
unable to find an AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program 
Consideration, non-selecting him for reenlistment; however, a 
printout from the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) dated 
11 Dec 00 identified him as being non-selected for reenlistment. 
DPSOA also found information in the applicant’s records to 
support his reenlistment denial. 

 

The DPSOA complete evaluation, with attachments, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION: 

 

The applicant responds by stating he separated from the Air Force 
due to his grandmother becoming ill. As a civilian, he became a 
police officer. Later, he decided to pursue a certification in 
personal training that led him to go back to school to achieve a 
degree as a Physical Therapy Assistant. Serving in the military 
gave him the strength and confidence in himself to achieve these 
goals. He acknowledges the fact he received an Article 15 in 
1998; however, he admits he made a poor choice as a young man, 
but has grown since that time and guarantees he has changed. He 
did not receive any other “black marks” while serving in the 
military and even joined the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) 
team. He still does not know the reason for the coding on his 
DD Form 214 and respectfully requests favorable consideration of 
his application. 

 

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

 

_________________________________________________________________ 

 

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 error or injustice. Based upon the 
presumption of regularity in the conduct of governmental affairs 


and without evidence to the contrary, we must assume that the 
applicant’s discharge with accompanying RE code was proper and in 
compliance with appropriate directives. Therefore, based on the 
available eveidence of record, we find no basis upon which to 
favorably consider 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.
