RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00095
INDEX NUMBER: 110.00
XXXXXXXXXXXXX COUNSEL: None
XXX-XX-XXXX HEARING DESIRED: No
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reentry code of 2x “first-term, second-term, or career airman
considered but not selected for reenlistment under the Selective
Reenlistment Program (SRP) be changed to a code that will permit him to
reenter the Air Force as an officer.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was probably given a “2X” RE code due to his early separation during
the strength reduction in 1990. He does not believe it was intended to
preclude him from reentering the Air Force as an officer over ten years
later.
He has earned a Masters Degree and gained valuable experience, which
have dramatically altered his qualifications to serve. He provides
copies of documents, including letters of reference that document that
he meets all requirements for reentering the Air Force as an officer.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_______________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant entered active duty as an airman on 14 Apr 89. On 26 Dec
89, he requested separation under the provisions of the FY90 Extended
Early Release Program effective 1 Feb 90. On 12 Jan 90, the base
commander approved the applicant’s request. The applicant was
voluntarily separated on 1 Feb 90 and issued a RE Code of “2X.”
_______________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends the Board change the applicant’s RE code to 3K
“Reserved for use by HQ AFPC or the AFBCMR when no other reenlistment
eligibility code applies or is appropriate. After a review of the
applicant’s records, they could not find any documentation, such as an
AF Form 418, Selective Reenlistment Consideration, denying the
applicant reenlistment.
The complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_______________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant indicates in his response that since he served only 9
months, 17 days, he was never considered for under the SRP. He
voluntarily separated strictly to benefit the Air Force. During his
time in service, he honestly and faithfully performed his duties.
He disagrees with the Air Force recommendation to change his RE code to
“3K.” He believes his code should be one that reflects honorable
service with no adverse APRs, disciplinary letters, or derogatory
information. Put simply, it should be “1J” since he would have been
selected under SRP if considered.
He further believes that his position is justified by the fact that he
is applying for a commission as an Air Force officer and that any
reentry code other than a “1” will require additional time and expense
on the part of the Air Force. Since his “2X” RE code was unjustly
entered on his DD Form 214 and is preventing his effort to become an
officer, it is in the best interest of justice and in the best interest
of the Air Force to change his RE code to “1J.”
The applicant’s complete response is at Exhibit E.
_______________________________________________________________
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 to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. It is clear from the evidence of
record that the RE code of “2X” given the applicant is incorrect. We
disagree, however, with the recommendation of the AFPC/DPPAE to change
the applicant’s code to “3K.” While it may be a preferable code to the
current one, we believe that it would only serve to compound the
injustice already done to the applicant. As such, we believe that the
RE code of “1J” requested by the applicant is appropriate. There is
nothing indicated in his record that should have precluded his
reenlistment in the Air Force. We note the letters of support provided
to the applicant and his apparent qualifications to be considered for
reentry into the Air Force as an officer. Therefore, we recommend that
the applicant’s records be corrected as indicated below.
_______________________________________________________________
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
honorable discharge on 1 February 1990, he was issued a Reenlistment
Eligibility Code of “1J.”
