RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 99-01294
INDEX CODE: 112.00
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed.
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, extracted from the
applicant's military records, 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 FORCE EVALUATION:
The Chief Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, reviewed this application and
states that any separation from the military within 6 months of entry
carries with it an uncharacterized service designation and an
accompanying “2C” reenlistment code as received by the applicant.
However, given the acute, self-limited nature of the precipitating
factors causing the applicant’s adjustment disorder, and his otherwise
exemplary, albeit short, service record, it is reasonable to recommend
a change of RE code to allow the applicant the opportunity to further
serve his country as a Guard or Reserve member with waiver for his
previously diagnosed adjustment disorder. The BCMR Medical Consultant
is of the opinion that the applicant’s reenlistment code be changed to
“3K.”
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.
The Chief, Skills Management Branch, Directorate, Personnel Program
Management, HQ AFPC/DPPAE, also reviewed the application and states
that since the type of separation received drives RE codes,
applicant’s code is correct as reflected. However, if the decision is
to grant the relief sought, applicant’s record should be corrected to
reflect his RE code as “3K.”
A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 22 October 1999, a complete copy of the Air Force evaluation was
forwarded to the applicant for review and response within 30 days. 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 warranting a change in
the applicant’s RE code. In accordance with appropriate regulations
the RE code was appropriate to the existing circumstances. However,
we note the Air Force evaluation from the Chief, Medical Consultant,
AFBCMR, which states given the acute, self-limited nature of the
precipitating factors causing the applicant’s adjustment disorder, and
his otherwise exemplary, albeit short, service record, it is
reasonable to recommend a change of RE code to allow the applicant the
opportunity to further serve his country as a Guard or Reserve member
with waiver for his previously diagnosed adjustment disorder.
Therefore, we agree with the recommendation of the Medical Consultant
to change the applicant’s RE code to “3K.” We believe he should be
afforded 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 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 “3K” (Secretarial
Authority).
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 22 April 1998, he was issued a Reenlistment Eligibility
(RE) code of “3K.”

She served 2 years, 2 months and 13 days of active service. The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE stated that the Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service” is correct. However, after reviewing the applicant’s records, the Board believes the narrative reason for separation and her current RE code are somewhat harsh.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION: c >. A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C. The Chief Medical Consultant, AFBCMR, reviewed this application and states that while there can be no change in the reason for the applicant's separation, it would seem appropriate to consider a change in his reenlistment eligibility code to accommodate his desire to return to the military, with waiver if he is otherwise qualified for commissioning.

However, her uncharacterized discharge should not be changed as it reflects her separation before completing a period of service (i.e., 180-days of continuous active service) that would allow an honorable characterization. In addition, AFPC/DPPRS recommends changing the applicant’s separation code and narrative reason for separation to “JFF - Secretarial Authority.” AFPC/DPPRS states that the applicant’s discharge was in error and she should have been discharged under AFI 36-3208, paragraph...
