RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 98-03462
INDEX CODE: 100
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so that he can join
the Air National Guard (ANG).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Article 15 he received before his discharge and not being able to
reenlist was unjust and set up against him.
Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant’s Total Active Federal Military Service Date (TAFMSD)
was 2 Dec 93.
Applicant’s Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) profile follows:
PERIOD ENDING OVERALL EVALUATION
1 Aug 95 3
1 Aug 96 4
1 Aug 97 2 (Referral Report)
On 30 Jul 97, applicant was notified of his commander’s intent to
impose nonjudicial punishment upon him for dereliction in the
performance of his duties in that he willfully failed to refrain from
removing his Personal Information Folder (PIF) from his Element
Chief’s desk.
On 8 Aug 97, after consulting with counsel, applicant waived his right
to a trial by court-martial, requested a personal appearance and
submitted a written presentation.
On 15 Aug 97, he was found guilty by his commander who imposed the
following punishment: Reduction from the grade of senior airman to
airman first class, which was suspended until 14 Feb 98, after which
time it would be remitted without further action, unless sooner
vacated; forfeiture of $250 pay a month for two months, which was
suspended until 14 Feb 98, after which time it would be remitted
without further action, unless sooner vacated; and, 45 days’ extra
duty.
Applicant did appeal the punishment; however, there is no indication
on the Article 15 whether his appeal was denied or whether it was
filed in his Unfavorable Information File (UIF).
On 1 Dec 97, the applicant was discharged under the provisions of AFI
36-3208 (Completion of Required Active Service) with an honorable
characterization of service in the grade of senior airman with an RE
code of 2X (First-term, second-term, or career airman considered but
not selected for reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program
(SRP). He was credited with four years of active service.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief, Skills Management Branch, AFPC/DPPAE, reviewed this
application and indicated that SRP consideration is normally
documented on an AF Form 418. Unfortunately, the AF Form 418 denying
applicant reenlistment is not on file in his military personnel
record. However, DPPAE did confirm applicant’s RE code “2X” on a
2 Oct 97 Records Review Listing. Additionally, his last EPR was a “2”
which supports a recommendation of denial of reenlistment.
Considering the above, DPPAE recommends denial of applicant’s request
for correction of his RE code.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Applicant reviewed the Air Force evaluation and provided a two-page
response, with attachments (see 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 error or injustice. After thoroughly
reviewing the evidence of record, we are persuaded that applicant’s RE
code should be changed. In this respect, we note the statement from
the Assistant, Noncommissioned Officer-in-Charge (NCOIC), Orderly
Room, who stated that he (the NCOIC) made a copy of the complete PIF
and that the applicant did not touch the PIF at all. Therefore, in
order to remove any possibility of an injustice and in consideration
of applicant’s honorable discharge, we believe that he should be given
an RE code of “3K” which will afford him the opportunity to apply for
a waiver to enlist in the armed services. Whether or not he is
successful will depend on the needs of the service and our
recommendation in no way guarantees he will be allowed to return to
the Air Force or any branch of the service.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his RE code, issued
in conjunction with his honorable discharge on 1 Dec 97, was RE 3K.

The supervisor stated that he was unable to select the applicant for reenlistment at the time because the applicant had not demonstrated the desire or capability to accept the additional duties and responsibilities required of a career airman in today’s Air Force. The evidence of record indicates that the applicant was not selected for reenlistment in the Air Force. Furthermore, it now seems that the applicant has the motivation and the desire to commit himself to the service of his country.
