AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE MATTER OF: 

DOCKET NUMBER:  97-02245 

COUNSEL:  NONE 

HEARING DESIRED:  NO 

Applicant  requests  that  his  general  discharge  be  upgraded  to 
honarable,  and,  his  reenlistment  eligibility  (RE)  code  and 
narrative  reason  for  separation  be  changed. 
Applicant's 
submission is at Exhibit A. 

The  Air  Force  Discharge  Review  Board  (AFDRB) considered  and 
denied the applicant's request for upgrade of his discharge and 
changed of reason for discharge  (Exhibit C).  The appropriate Air 
Force office evaluated applicant's request for change of  his RE 
Code and provided an advisory opinion to the Board  (Exhibit D). 
The AFDRB  Brief  and  the  advisory opinion were  forwarded to the 
applicant  for review and response  (Exhibit E). As of  this date, 
no response has been received by this office. 

After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's requests  that  his 
general  discharge  be  upgraded  to  honorable  and  his  narrative 
reason for separation be  changed, and the available evidence of 
record, we  find  insufficient evidence of  error  or injustice to 
warrant corrective action.  The decision of the AFDRB appears to 
be based on the evidence of record and have not been rebutted by 
applicant. 
Absent  persuasive  evidence  applicant  was  denied 
rights  to  which  entitled,  appropriate  regulations  were  not 
followed, or appropriate standards were not  applied, we  find no 
basis  to  disturb  the  existing  record. 
Accordingly,  the 
applicant's requests are not favorably considered. 

Regarding the applicant's request that his RE code be changed, we 
note that members separated from the Air Force are furnished an 
RE  code  predicated  upon  the  quality  of  their  service  and 
circumstances of  their  separation.  At  the  time  an RE  code  is 
assigned, it reflects the Air Force position regarding whether or 
not,  or  under  what  circumstances,  the  individual  should  be 
allowed  to reenlist.  The applicant's RE  code of  2B  accurately 
corresponds with his discharge characterization and the fact that 
his  service  was  involuntarily  terminated. 
Accordingly,  the 
applicant's request that his RE code be changed is not  favorably 
considered. 

The Board staff is directed to inform applicant of this decision. 
Applicant should also be informed that this decision is final and 
will only be  reconsidered upon the presentation of  new relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 

Members of the Board Ms. Martha Maust, Mr. Joseph G. Diamond, and 
Mr.  Frank J. Colson considered this application on 14 Jan 98 in 
accordance with  the provisions of  Air  Force  Instruction 36-2603 
and the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

A review of applicant’s case file was conducted.  The Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) 

Code “2B” is correct.  The type of discharge drove assignment of the RE code.
