IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 00-02780
INDEX CODE: 110.00
APLICANT COUNSEL: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Applicant requests his reenlistment eligibility code (RE) be changed
to allow him entry into the Air National Guard (ANG)
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The misconduct he committed was attributed to his being young and
immature. It has been 17 years since he was in the Air Force and he
has with time and age matured and has developed an excellent standing
in the community, with his peers and work. He requests that the
mistakes of his youth not be held against him; he would like to give
back to his community and country by serving in the ANG.
In support of his appeal, the applicant submitted statements from co-
workers and friends.
Applicant's complete submission is attached at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 27 Oct 81 for a period
of six years.
On 22 Aug 83, the applicant’s commander initiated administrative
separation proceedings against the applicant for misconduct. His
misconduct consisted of failure to go to work on time, two instances
of financial irresponsibility and violation of base driving privileges
and conviction in civilian court of intentional damage to property.
The commander did not recommend probation and rehabilitation. The
applicant consulted counsel and submitted a written statement. On 16
Sep 83, the discharge was approved.
On 20 Sep 83 the applicant while serving in the grade of airman first
class was discharged from the Air Force for a pattern of misconduct.
He received an under honorable conditions (general) discharge. He
served 1 year, 10 months and 24 days of active military service. He
was issued an RE code of 2B.
Pursuant to the Board’s request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Washington, D.C., provided an investigative report which is attached
at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The Military Personnel Specialist, Separations Branch, AFPC/DPPRS,
reviewed this application and states that based upon the documentation
in the file the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation and discharge
authority. DPPRS recommends not granting the requested relief. The
applicant has not submitted any new evidence to identify that he was
subject to an error or injustice regarding his discharge. Also, he
did not provide any facts that would warrant a change in his reason
for discharge or separation code.
A complete copy of the Air Staff evaluation is attached at Exhibit D.
The Special Programs and AFBCMR Manager, Directorate, Personnel
Program Management, AFPC/DPPAES, also reviewed the application and
states the reenlistment code 2B is the applicable code for a member
separated involuntarily with less than an honorable discharge.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations and the FBI report were forwarded
to the applicant on 15 Dec 00 and 21 Dec 00, respectively, 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure of timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. After careful
consideration of the circumstances of this case and the evidence
provided by the applicant, we are not persuaded that the discharge
action and resulting reenlistment code he received were in error or
unjust. Applicant’s contentions are duly noted; however, we agree
with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force and adopt their
rationale as the basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not
been the victim of an error or injustice. Although the applicant
contends his misconduct was attributed to his age and immaturity, we
find his discharge was consistent with procedural and substantive
requirements of the discharge regulation with the appropriate
reenlistment code attached. Applicant presented insufficient evidence
of post-service activities or accomplishments. Therefore, in the
absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to
recommend granting the relief sought in this application.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of probable material error or injustice;
that the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of
newly discovered relevant evidence not considered with this
application.

The person told him that he would be able to reenlist as his discharge was a General discharge.

While the RE code assigned to the applicant, at the time, was correct and in accordance with regulation, we believe it would be an injustice for applicant to continue to suffer its effects in the way of enlistment opportunities in the armed forces in view of his accomplishments since leaving the service and the support provided with his application. Accordingly, we recommend that the records be corrected as indicated below. Exhibit B.
