                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  99-00825
            INDEX CODE:  100.03

            COUNSEL:  None

            HEARING DESIRED:  No

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code  be  changed  so  that  he  can
enlist in the United States Marine Corps.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

Applicant makes no contentions on his application.

Applicant’s complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.

________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

The applicant’s Total Active Federal Military  Service  Date  (TAFMSD)
was 12 Apr 94.

Applicant has two Enlisted Performance  Reports  (EPRs)  reflecting  a
rating of “3” and “4” respectively.

On 17 May 96, applicant was notified  of  his  commander’s  intent  to
impose nonjudicial punishment upon him for  operating  a  vehicle,  to
wit:  a passenger car, while the alcohol concentration on  his  breath
was 0.10 grams of  alcohol  per  210  liters  of  breath  or  greater,
specifically .104 grams  of  alcohol  per  210  liters,  as  shown  by
chemical analysis.

On 22 May 96, after consulting  with  counsel,  applicant  waived  his
right to a trial by court-martial, requested a personal appearance and
submitted a written presentation.

On 22 May 96, he was found guilty by his  commander  who  imposed  the
following punishment:  Reduction from the grade of airman first  class
to the grade of airman, with a new date of rank (DOR) of 22 May 96.

Applicant did not appeal the punishment.  The Article 15 was filed  in
his Unfavorable Information File (UIF).

On 11 Apr 98, the applicant was discharged from the  Air  Force  under
the provisions of AFI 36-3208 (Completion of Required Active  Service)
with an honorable characterization of service in the grade  of  airman
first class with an RE Code of 4E (Grade  is  airman  first  class  or
below and airman completed 31 or more months, if a first-term airman).
 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 a review of applicant’s military record
confirms he separated from active duty in the grade  of  airman  first
class  with  over  31  months’  service.   Considering   this,   DPPAE
recommends denial of applicant’s request for change of his RE code.

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
24 May 99 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 timely filed.

3.    Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented  to  demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice.  After noting  that  the
applicant was issued an honorable discharge, we believe  that  his  RE
code should be changed to  “3K”  in  order  that   he  may  apply  for
enlistment in the  Marine  Corps.   The  applicant  should  be  aware,
however, that this recommendation in no way establishes an entitlement
to enlist; it only makes him eligible to apply.  Whether or not he  is
selected for enlistment will be based on the needs of the  service  to
which application is made.

________________________________________________________________

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 11 Apr 98, was RE 3K.

________________________________________________________________

The following members of the  Board  considered  this  application  in
Executive Session on 14 December 1999, under the provisions of AFI 36-
2603:

                  Ms. Patricia J. Zarodkiewicz, Panel Chair
                  Ms. Patricia D. Vestal, Member
              Ms. Melinda J. Loftin, Member
              Mrs. Joyce Earley, Examiner (without vote)

All members  voted  to  correct  the  records,  as  recommended.   The
following documentary evidence was considered:

     Exhibit A.  DD Form 149, undated.
     Exhibit B.  Applicant's Master Personnel Records.
     Exhibit C.  Letter, AFPC/DPPAE, dated 7 May 99.
     Exhibit D.  Letter, AFBCMR, dated 24 May 99.
