AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
IN THE MATTER OF:
DOCKET NUMBER: 98- 01555
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: NO
JAN 29 19%
'c
Applicant requests that his reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be
changed so that he can join the Air National Guard ( A N G ) .
Applicant's submission is at Exhibit A.
The appropriate Air Force offices evaluated applicant's request
and provided an advisory opinion to the Board recommending the
application be denied (Exhibit C). The advisory opinions were
forwarded to the applicant for 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 were not applied, we find no basis to
disturb the existing record.
Accordingly, applicant's request is denied.
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 Mr. Michael P. Higgins, Dr. Gerald B.
Kauvar, and Ms. Dorothy P. Loeb considered this application on
21 January 1999 in accordance with the provisions of Air Force
Instruction 36-2603, and the governing

Randolph AFB TX 78 1 50-47 13
The applicant, while serving in the grade of airman basic, was separated fiom the Air Force 19
May 98 under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Entry level Performance and Conduct) with an
uncharacterized discharge. He served 04 month and 13 days total active service.
Requested Action. The applicant is requesting a change in his reentry code. This advisory will
address only the discharge processing in the case. AFPCDPPAES will addressed the
reenlistment code issue.
Basis for Request. Applicant appeals for a change in his reentry code in order to allow him to
enlist in the Air National Guard.
Facts. The applicant was notified by his commander on 12 May 98 that discharge action had
been initiated against him for his unsatisfactory performance in his assigned technical training
course. Specifically, he failed block 1 exam twice with scores of 65% and 35%. Minimum
passing was 70%. Prior to disenrollment, he was counseled on several occasions concerning his
academic deficiencies, with 8 hours of special individual assistance. The commander indicated his
action was being recommended because he was disenrolled fiom his training program for
academic deficiency. The commander advised applicant that if his recommendation is approved,
that his discharge would be described as entry level separation and that he would be ineligible for
reenlistment in the Air Force. He was advised he had a right to consult counsel and the right to
submit statements in his own behalf. He waived his right to consulted counsel and did not
submitted statements in his own behalf. On 13 May 98, the discharge authority approved the
Entry Level Separation. Airmen are given entry level separatioduncharacterized service
characterization when separation action is initiated against them in the first 180 days of
continuous active service.
Discussion. This case has been reviewed for separation processing and there are no errors or
irregularities causing an injustice to the applicant. The discharge complies with directives in effect
at the time of his discharge. The Notification Letter dated 12 May 98 to the applicant advising
the action being recommended to be taken against him indicated he would be ineligible for
reenlistment if the action received approval. The records indicate member’s military service was
reviewed and appropriate action was taken.
Recommendation. Applicant did not identifjl any specific errors in the discharge processing nor
provide facts which warrant a change in the discharge he received. Accordingly, we recommend
applicant’s request be denied. He has filed a timely request.

We conducted a review of applicant’s case file. The Reenlistment Eligibility (RE)
