RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:	DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2012-05829

		COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO


________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reentry (RE) code of 2X (career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment) on his DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, be changed to 1J (eligible to reenlist but elected to separate).

___________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

An RE code of 2X is inappropriate given his performance prior to his separation.  His final Fitness Assessment (FA) score was a satisfactory without requiring an exemption, and the overall performance assessment on his final Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) was a “5.”     

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

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant served in the Regular Air Force in the grade of technical sergeant (E-6) during the period of time in question.  

Based upon the documentation provided by the applicant, he failed to obtain a satisfactory rating on three out of four FAs administered between 23 Jul 10 and 24 Oct 11. 

The applicant’s commander issued him a referral EPR covering the period 16 Nov 10 through 15 Nov 11 for failing to achieve a passing score on his FA.  

On 19 Jun 12, the applicant completed his final FA, achieving a composite score of 78.60 and a fitness level of satisfactory.  

On 2 Nov 12, the applicant’s commander signed an AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) Consideration for Airmen in the Regular Air Force/Air Force Reserve, non-selecting the applicant for reenlistment. 

On 27 Nov 12, the applicant was furnished an EPR covering the period 16 Nov 11 through 15 Nov 12 on which his overall performance assessment was rated as a 5.  

On 4 Dec 12, the applicant was furnished an honorable discharge certificate with a narrative reason for separation of “completion of required active service,” and RE code of 2X, and was credited with 11 years, 9 months, and 28 days of active service.  

The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application are described in the letter prepared by the Air Force office of primary responsibility (OPR) which is attached at Exhibit C.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of an error or injustice.  In accordance with (IAW) AFI 2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-selection authority.  The Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP) considers the member’s Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) ratings, Unfavorable Information from any substantiated source, the airman’s willingness to comply with Air Force standards and/or the airman’s ability (or lack of) to meet required training and duty performance levels.  The applicant’s commander denied him reenlistment eligibility, therefore, the RE code 2X is appropriate IAW AFI 36-2606.  The applicant elected not to appeal his non-selection for reenlistment, but now wants to change the record to show his commander decided he was eligible for reenlistment.  The applicant does not provide any evidence of an error or injustice in the separation process.  

A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOR evaluation, with attachment, is at Exhibit C.

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 25 Jan 13 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 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 (OPR) 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 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.
