The applicant, while serving in the grade of senior Airman, was discharged from the Air 
Force on 21 Jun 96 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Misconduct) and received an under 
honorable conditions (general) discharge.  She had  served 03 years,  10 months and 25 days active 
service. Applicant appeared before an Air Force Discharge Review Board on 30 Apr 98 and the 
board upgraded applicant's discharge to honorable, changed her reason for separation to 
Secretarial Authority with a separation program designator of JFF and reentry code of 2C. 

Requested Action.  The applicant is now requesting her reentry code and separation 

program designator codes be corrected for reserve statudor reinstatement to active duty to fulfill 
2"d term obligation. 

Conclusion and Recommendation.  Since the Discharge Review Board concluded that the 
discharge she received was not consistent with the procedural and substantive requirements of the 
discharge regulation that the applicant was not provided full administrative due process, this ofice 
would have no objection if AFF3CMR grants applicant's request for reinstatement to active duty. 
In addition, applicant had a sterling performance record prior to assignment where she was 
discharged and makes a good candidate for continued active service in the Air Force.  She has 
filed a timely request.

550 C Street West Ste 10 
Randolph AFB TX  78150-4712 

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

code to permit reinstatement.  The applicant filed a timely request within three years of 
discovering alleged injustice. 

The applicant was discharged on 21 Jun 96 after serving four years and 24 days active 
and inactive service.  She initially received an RE code of “2B: Involuntarily separated with a 
general or under-other-than-honorable discharge,”  However, the Discharge Review Board 
(DRB) changed her reason for discharge to “Secretarial Authority,” and her character of service 
to honorable.  As a result, her RE code was changed to “2C:  Involuntarily separated with an 
honorable discharge.” 

I 

In reviewing applicant’s military records and the DRB’s conclusion that there is 

evidence of impropriety in her discharge, we recommend RE code “ZC” be changed to “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.” This will 
permit reinstatement, provided all other conditions for reinstatement are met. 

If reinstated, applicant will not require a constructive reenlistment, since her four-year,
