RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBERS: 01-02238
INDEX CODE 100.06
COUNSEL: None
HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed from “2I” (Non-US
citizen serving on initial enlistment) to one that would allow
reenlistment.
_________________________________________________________________
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 applicant, who was born in the Philippines, entered active duty on
13 Jun 96. According to AF Form 31, Airman’s Request for Early
Separation, on 10 Sep 99 she requested early separation on 1 Dec 99
“in order to provide maternal care” for her child due in Dec 99. Her
request was approved on 27 Sep 99. The applicant was honorably
discharged on 1 Dec 99 in the grade of senior airman for
pregnancy/childbirth with 3 years, 5 months and 19 days of active
service. She was given an RE code of “2I.”
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPRS provided its rationale for recommending denial.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.
HQ AFPC/DPPAE notes that since there is no RE code directly associated
for pregnancy, the RE code “2I” is correct since that was the status
of the applicant at the time of separation.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit D.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Complete copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the
applicant on 12 Oct 01 for review and comment within 30 days. As of
this date, this office has received no response.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing
law or regulations.
2. The applicant was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of probable error or injustice. After a thorough review
of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not
persuaded that her RE code should be changed to one allowing
reenlistment. Her contentions are duly noted; however, we do not find
these uncorroborated assertions, in and by themselves, sufficiently
persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force.
According to AFI 36-3606, non-US citizens such as the applicant who
enlisted on or after 1 Nov 82 must become US citizens during their
initial enlistment before they can reenlist. Six months before her
enlistment term was completed, the applicant applied for separation
due to pregnancy. Her request was approved and, since there is no RE
code directly associated with pregnancy, “2I” was most applicable
because she was a non-US citizen serving on initial enlistment at the
time of her separation. The applicant has not demonstrated that her
reason for separation and RE code are incorrect, that she did not have
sufficient opportunity to obtain US citizenship while in the service,
or that she has subsequently obtained US citizenship. We therefore
agree with the recommendations of the Air Force and, absent persuasive
evidence to the contrary, find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought.
_________________________________________________________________
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.

He was not discharged because of the failure. Based on applicant’s failure in his CDC’s and no record of misconduct, the SJA recommended that the applicant be separated from the Air Force with an honorable discharge without probation and rehabilitation. We therefore agree with the recommendations of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.

A complete copy of the evaluation is attached at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE stated that the applicant was released from active duty on 15 Oct 96 with an honorable characterization of service after serving 9 years and 2 months. However, if the Board wishes to grant the applicant relief they recommend changing his code to 3K “Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records (AFBCMR) when no other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is appropriate.” A...
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C. The Special Programs & AFBCMR Manager, HQ AFPC/DPPAES, also evaluated the case and explains why they corrected the applicant’s RE code from “3A” to “2N.” However, if the relief sought is granted, then the author recommends the applicant’s RE code be changed to “3K” (“Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the AFBCMR when no other RE code applies or is inappropriate [sic].” [The definition for “3K” provided by DPPAES is incorrect because that meaning...
