AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS 

RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 

IN THE  MATTER OF: 

97-03701 

DOCKET " M B E R :  
COUNSEL:  NONE 
HEARING DESIRED:  YES 

JUN  L  8  1998 

Applicant  requests the narrative reason for h i s   16 September 1982 
discharge  (Strength Reduction  -  First  Term Airman) be  changed and 
that  his  Reenlistment  Eligibility  (RE) code  of  4E  be  changed. 
(Examiner's Note:  RE-4E denotes E - 1 ,   E-2, or E - 3   with Total Active 
Federal Military Service  (TAFMS) not  exceeding 18 years, 1 month. 
RE-4E is a code which  can be waived  f o r   prior  service enlistment 
consideration,  provided  otherwise  qualified,  under  an  existing 
prior service program.)  Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A. 
The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request and 
pxovided  advisory  opinions  to  the  Board  recommending  the 
application be  denied  (Exhibit C ) .  
The  advisory  opinions  were 
forwarded to the applicant f o r   review and response  (Exhibit D).  As 
of this date, no response has been received by this office. 
After  careful  consideration  of  applicant's  request  and  the 
available  evidence  of  record, we  find  insufficient  evidence  of 
error  or  injustice to warrant  corrective action.  The  facts and 
opinions stated in the advisory opinions appear 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 
w e r e   not applied, we find no basis to disturb the existing record. 
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied. 
The applicant's case is adequately documented and  it has not  been 
shown  that  a  personal  appearance  with  or  without  counsel  will 
materially  add  to  our  understanding  of  the  issues  involved. 
Therefore, the request for a hearing 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  t h e   presentation  of  new  relevant 
evidence  which  was  not  reasonably  available  at  the  time  the 
application was filed. 
Members of  the Board Messrs. Charles E. Bennett, John  T. Dorsett, 
and Steven A. Shaw considered this application on 18 June 1998 in 
accordance with the provisions of Air Force Instruction 36-2603 and 
the governing statute, 10 U.S.C. 1552.

0 3  MAR a 

The applicant requests his Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed to a favorable 

code.  He has not frled a timely request within three years of discovering alIeged error.  He 
contends he consulted a VA representative following his separation, and was discouraged fiom 
applying for correction. 

The applicant was discharged on 16 Sep 82 after serving five years, ten months, and 26 
days active and inactive service.  He received an RE code of ‘YE:  Grade is E- 1, E-2, or E-3 with 
TAFMS not exceeding 18 years, one month.” 

A review of applicant’s military records confirms this RE code is correct.  Considering 
this, we recommend denial of applicant’s request for change of RE code.  However, if the 
decision is to grant the relief sought, applicant’s record should be corrected to reflect his liE code 
as “3K:  Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the Air Force Board for Correction of Military 

Records (AFBCMR) when no other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is appropriate.” -

MEMORANDUM FOR AFBCMR 

FROM:  HQ AFPCDPPRS 

559 C Street West Ste 1 1 
Randolph AFB TX 78150-4713 

The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman first class, was discharged from the Air 
Force 16 Sep 82 under the provisions of AFR 39- 10 (Strength Reduction -First Term Airman) 
with an Honorable discharge.  He served 05 years, 09 months 14 days total active service. 
Requested Action.  The applicant is requesting his separation code and reentry code be 

changed. 

Basis for Request.  Applicant claims that his reason for separation is unjust due to the fact that 
his term of enlistment was about to finish in Nov 82.  He M e r  claims his reenlistment code is 
unjust because he was not informed that he would not be allowed to reenlist.  We defer the 
reentry code issue to AFPC/DPPAES for comment and our advisory will address only the 
separation reason and code. 

Facts.  The applicant was involuntarily discharged as a result of an Air Force reduction in 

force program in 1982. Applicant did meet the criteria for mandatory release because he was a 
fvst term airman below the grade of  E-4 with a date of separation (DOS) during 1982 and had an 
ineligible for reenlistment code. 

Discussion.  This case has been reviewed and the reason for discharge and separation code are 

appropriate and complies with the directive in effect at the time of his discharge. 

Recommendation.  Applicant did not identify any specific errors in the discharge processing 
nor provide facts which warrant a change in his narrative reason for separation or his separation 
code.  Accordingly, we recommend applicant’s request be denied.  He has not filed a timely 
request.
