RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-00368
INDEX CODE 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so that he may enter the
Air Force Reserve.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
There is no RE code of 2Y. The need to have a valid reenlistment code will
enable him to enlist in the Air Force Reserve.
In support of his appeal, he has submitted a copy of his DD Form 214.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic on 28
August 1985 for a term of 4 years. The applicant was separated for
expiration term of service on 27 December 1989 in the grade of senior
airman. He served 5 years and 4 months of active service.
On 14 March 1989, the applicant's commander signed an AF Form 418,
Selective Reenlistment Consideration, vacating the applicant's NCO status
for misconduct off-duty.
On 27 March 1989, the applicant was notified of his commander’s intent to
impose nonjudicial punishment upon him for the following offense: You were,
at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona, on or about 2 March 1989, drunk and
disorderly.
On 17 April 1989, after consulting with counsel, applicant waived his right
to a trial by court-martial, and submitted a written presentation.
On 21 April 1989, he was found guilty by his commander who imposed the
following punishment: reduction to the grade of airman first class,
(suspended until 18 Oct 89, at which time it will be remitted without
further action unless sooner vacated) and 15 days extra duty. He did not
appeal the punishment.
The remaining relevant facts pertaining to this application, extracted from
the applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force at Exhibits C.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE stated that the applicant has not satisfactorily indicated that
the RE code was not properly given. RE code 2Y was a valid code at the
time of discharge. Commander's action to deny reenlistment was not
inappropriate and was in compliance with Air Force policy. Based on the
review of his case file, his RE code 2Y is correct.
The AFPC/DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A complete copy of the evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 21 June
2002 for review and comment 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the interest of
justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of probable error or injustice. At the time a member is
separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE code predicated upon
the quality of their service and the circumstances of their separation.
The assigned code reflects the Air Force's position regarding whether or
not, or under what circumstances, the individual should be allowed to
reenlist. The evidence of records supports the stated reasons for the
applicant's ineligibility to reenlist; i.e., his NCO status was vacated as
a result of his conduct. We are not persuaded by the evidence provided
that the assigned RE code is in error or unjust or that an upgrade of the
RE code is warranted on the basis of clemency. Therefore, in the absence
of evidence to the contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been shown
that a personal appearance with or without counsel will materially add to
our understanding of the issue involved. Therefore, the request for a
hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
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.
