AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, Skills Management Branch, Directorate of Personnel Program
Management, HQ AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed this application and states that
applicant was discharged 12 June 1992 with an honorable characterization of
service after serving one year, four months, and 12 days active and
inactive service. He received an RE code “3A,” First-term airman, who
separates before completing 36 months on current enlistment and who has no
known disqualifying factors or ineligibility conditions except grade and
skill level and insufficient TAFMS.” This code is correct. Applicant
separated as an airman (E-2) at the three-skill level. Therefore, they
recommend denial of applicant’s request.
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant reviewed the advisory opinion and states that his desire is
to enlist in the United States Coast Guard. He is aware that the military
awards waivers with an RE code “3,” but he was instructed by Coast Guard
recruiters to obtain a RE code of “1.”
Applicant’s complete response is attached at Exhibit E.
_________________________________________________________________
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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice warranting a change in the
applicant’s RE code. The RE code issued at the time of separation was in
accordance with the applicable regulations. However, after reviewing the
circumstances surrounding his discharge and noting his strong desire to
enlist in the Coast Guard, we recommend his RE code be changed to “1J.”
This code provides the applicant the opportunity to apply for enlistment in
the Coast Guard, without requiring a waiver. Whether or not he is
successful will depend on the needs of the service and our recommendation
in no way guarantees that he will be allowed to return to the Air Force or
any branch of the service. Therefore, we recommend his RE code be changed
to “1J.”
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force relating
to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that at the time of his discharge on 12
June 1992, he was issued a reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of “1J.”
