APPLICANT REQUESTS:  That her reentry (RE) code of RE-3C be corrected to an RE code of RE-1.

APPLICANT STATES:  She was assigned the wrong RE code.

EVIDENCE OF RECORD:  The applicant's military records show:

She enlisted for 4 years in pay grade E-1 on 12 March 1992, was awarded the military occupational specialty of Patriot missile crewmember, and was promoted to pay grade E-3.  She was honorably released from active duty and transferred to the USAR Control Group (Annual Training) on 12 August 1993, at her own request, due to pregnancy.  Her DD Form 214 shows that she had served 1 year, 5 months and 1 day of active duty and was assigned an RE code of RE-3C.

RE-3C applies to persons who have completed more than 4 months service who do not meet the basic eligibility pay grade requirements of chapter 2, Army Regulation 601-280, or who have been denied reenlistment under the Qualitative Retention Process according to chapter 10, Army Regulation 601-280.

Army Regulation 601-280, paragraph 2-22, specifies that individuals in pay grade E-3 are ineligible to reenlist unless they had enlisted for only 2 years and are reenlisting with less than 24 months of active duty.

DISCUSSION:  Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record and applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:

1.  The applicant was separated in pay grade E-3, had more than 4 months of active duty, and was serving on a 4-year enlistment.  Therefore, she was not eligible to reenlist.

2.  As such, the assignment of RE-3C in her case was appropriate and there is no reason to change it.

3.  In view of the preceding, there is no basis for granting the applicant’s request.

DETERMINATION:  The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

BOARD VOTE:

                       GRANT          

                       GRANT FORMAL HEARING

                       DENY APPLICATION
