RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 01-03532
INDEX CODE: 110.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment (RE) code be changed to allow him to enlist in the
Mississippi Air National Guard.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had just returned from Saudi Arabia and had plans to get married
and wanted to cross-train into a new field and was never offered the
opportunity.
Applicant's complete submission, with attachments, is attached at
Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as airman basic on 27 Jan
94 for a period of 4 years.
On 1 Aug 95, the applicant received an Article 15 for wrongfully using
his government credit card for unofficial purposes. The applicant was
found guilty by his commander who imposed punishment as follows:
reduction in grade to airman and seven days extra duty.
The applicant's commander on 17 Apr 97, signed the Air Force Form 418,
Selective Reenlistment Consideration, denying him reenlistment
consideration due to financial irresponsibility, failing to go, lack
of motivation and difficulty meeting training standards. Applicant
did not appeal.
The applicant was honorably discharged on 1 Jul 97, in the grade of
senior airman, having not completed his first full term of service and
issued an RE code of "2X." He served three years of active service.
Applicant's EPR profile reflects the following:

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE states the applicant has not submitted any evidence to
indicate that his commander's decision to deny him reenlistment was in
error or inappropriate. The fact that the applicant received an
Article 15 is evidence enough to substantiate a denial of
reenlistment. Furthermore, the applicant has not satisfactorily
provided evidence to support a change in his RE code. DPPAE
recommends the requested relief be denied (Exhibit C).
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
22 Mar 02, 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. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. While the RE code assigned to
the applicant, at the time, was technically correct and in accordance
with the governing regulation, the Board believes it would be an
injustice for the applicant to continue to suffer its effects. It is
noted that DPPAE recommended not changing the reenlistment code, but
the Board believes that the applicant 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 reenlistment code be changed to “3K.”
_________________________________________________________________
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 1 July 1997, he was issued a Reenlistment Eligibility Code
(RE) of “3K.”
