         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  98-02991
            INDEX CODE:  100.06

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES


_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2X be changed  to  one  that
will allow her entry into the Air Force or Air Force Reserve.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

The reasons the applicant believes the  records  to  be  in  error  or
unjust and the evidence submitted in support  of  the  appeal  are  at
Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the
letters  prepared  by  the  appropriate  offices  of  the  Air  Force.
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record  of
Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR STAFF EVALUATION:

The Separations Branch,  AFPC/DPPRS,  reviewed  this  application  and
recommended denial.  A complete copy of the evaluation is  at  Exhibit
C.

The Skills Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAE,  reviewed  this  application
and recommended denial.  A complete  copy  of  the  evaluation  is  at
Exhibit D.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR STAFF EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant on  18
Jan 99 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (Exhibit E).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:

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

2.  The application was timely filed.

3.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of  probable  injustice.   After  reviewing  the  facts  and
circumstances  of  this  case,  we  believe   that   the   applicant’s
nonselection for reenlistment  may  have  been  an  excessively  harsh
reaction to what appears to be a one-time lapse in judgment  and  that
the behavior cited in her performance reports was most likely based on
her youth and immaturity.  We do not believe that the applicant should
be permanently barred from future military service if  any  branch  of
the  armed  forces  desires  to  enlist  her  based  on  their  needs,
especially in view of the applicant’s  consistently-recorded  superior
job performance.  Accordingly, we recommend that  the  applicant’s  RE
code of 2X be changed to one requiring a waiver, i.e., RE-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).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected  to  show  that  her  Reenlistment
Eligibility  (RE)  Code  issued  in  conjunction  with  her  honorable
discharge on 18 Jan 98 was “3K.”
