         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-02967
            INDEX CODE:  100

            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED:  No


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to a favorable code.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Her enlistment was declined due to financial irresponsibility  of  the
American Express Card.  She paid her debt and was given  a  Letter  of
Reprimand (LOR) and  allowed  to  receive  separation  pay  and  “TAMP
ELIGIBLE.”

Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s Total Active Federal Military  Service  Date  (TAFMSD)
was 23 Mar 87.

Applicant’s Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) profile follows:

            PERIOD ENDING          OVERALL EVALUATION

              22 Mar 88                    9

              17 Jan 95                    3 (Referral Rpt)
              19 Oct 95                    3

On 25 Sep  96,  the  applicant  was  released  from  active  duty  for
Completion   of   Required   Active   Service   with   an    honorable
characterization of service in the grade of sergeant with an  RE  code
of 2X (First-term, second-term, or career airman  considered  but  not
selected for reenlistment under the SRP).  She  was  credited  with  9
years, 5 months, and 3 days of active service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

The  Chief,  Skills  Management  Branch,  AFPC/DPPAE,  reviewed   this
application and indicated that Selective  Reenlistment  Program  (SRP)
consideration  is   normally   documented   on   an   AF   Form   418.
Unfortunately, the AF Form 418 denying applicant reenlistment  is  not
on file in her military personnel record.  However, based on her  last
two  EPR  ratings  of  3,  nonselection   for   reenlistment   appears
appropriate.  Also, a 26 Aug 96 Records  Review  Listing  confirms  RE
code “2X” is correct.  DPPAE recommends denial of applicant’s request.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force  evaluation  was  forwarded  to  applicant  on
14 Dec 98 for review and response.  As of this date, no  response  has
been received by this office.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

1.    The applicant has exhausted all remedies  provided  by  existing
law or regulations.

2.    The application was not timely filed;  however,  it  is  in  the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice.  After a thorough review
of the evidence of record  and  applicant’s  submission,  we  are  not
persuaded that her RE code should be changed to a favorable code.  Her
contentions are duly noted; however, it appears that her  conduct  was
unacceptable due to financial irresponsibility as noted in her  17 Jan
95 EPR and apparently the decision was made to deny her  reenlistment.
The fact is that every supervisor and commander is charged with making
difficult decisions regarding the  retention  of  first-term,  second-
term, or career airmen.  Members separated  from  the  Air  Force  are
furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of their service  and
the circumstances of their separation.  Applicant’s RE code accurately
defines the circumstances of her  separation  and  we  note  that  her
service characterization was honorable.  Therefore, we have  no  basis
on which to make any changes to the record; thus,  we  must  deny  the
request.

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:

The  applicant  be  notified  that  the  evidence  presented  did  not
demonstrate the existence of probable  material  error  or  injustice;
that the application was denied without  a  personal  appearance;  and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission  of
newly  discovered  relevant  evidence   not   considered   with   this
application.
