RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF: 	DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2014-00594

					COUNSEL:  NONE

		HEARING DESIRED:  NO 



APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His Separation Program Designator (SPD) code and his 
Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed.


APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

His SPD and RE codes are unjust and should be changed to allow 
him to join the Air National Guard (ANG).  He was denied 
reenlistment for financial instability and feels strongly that 
there is no justification for this.  He would like the 
opportunity to correct his mistake of separating from the Air 
Force.

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


STATEMENT OF FACTS:

According to the applicant's military personnel records, he 
initially entered the Regular Air Force on 2 Aug 05. 

On 11 Feb 13, the applicant was notified by his commander of his 
non-selection for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment 
Program (SRP).  The reasons for the action included failure to 
follow orders, dereliction of duty, and financial mismanagement, 
for which he received two letters of counseling and three 
letters of reprimand.

On 11 Feb 13, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the action 
and elected to appeal the decision; however, he did not submit 
an appeal package.

On 28 Jul 13, the applicant was furnished an honorable 
discharge, with a RE code of 2X (First-term, second-term or 
career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under 
the SRP) and was credited with 7 years, 11 months, and 27 days 
of total active service.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPSOR recommends denial, indicating there is no evidence of 
an error or injustice.  The applicant was separated under the 
FY13 Force Management Program with an RE code of "2X" which is 
consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of 
first-term, second-term, or career airman considered, but not 
selected for, reenlistment under the SRP.  Based upon the 
applicant's denial of reenlistment, he was properly separated 
with an SPD code of LGH--"Non-retention on active duty," which 
was properly reflected on his DD Form 214.  

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

AFPC/DPSOA recommends denial, indicating that the applicant has 
not provided any proof of an error or injustice related to his 
RE code.  AFI 36-2606, Reenlistment in the USAF, states 
commanders have selective reenlistment selection or non-
selection authority.  The SRP considers the members 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 
commander's decision is firmly based on the evidence of the case 
and was within the limits of the commander's authority and 
discretion.      
   
A complete copy of the AFPC/DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit D. 


APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the 
applicant on 25 Jul 14 for review and comment within 30 days.  
As of this date, no response has been received by this office 
(Exhibit E).


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 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.
