                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS


IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-01047
                       INDEX CODE:  110.00
      APPLICANT  COUNSEL:  None

      SSN        HEARING DESIRED:  Not Indicated

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be  changed  to  allow  her  to
reenlist in the Air Force.

_________________________________________________________________

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 enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 16  Sep  98  for  a
period of four years as an airman basic.

The applicant on 3 Mar 00, failed her end of course Career Development
Course (CDC) examination.  On 8 Aug 00, the applicant again failed her
CDC examination.

The applicant received an Article 15 on  4  Aug  00,  for  failure  to
report to duty.  Her punishment consisted of forfeiture of pay and  14
days extra duty.  The forfeiture of pay was suspended until 3 Feb  01,
at which time it was remitted without  further  action  unless  sooner
vacated.

On 4 Jan 01, the  applicant's  commander  notified  her  that  he  was
recommending her for discharge due to unsatisfactory performance.  She
was discharged on 30 Jan 01, with an honorable discharge.  She  served
2 years, 4 months and 15 days of service.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS states there was limited documentation in  the  applicant's
case file regarding her separation, however, DPPRS
believes the applicant's discharge was consistent with procedural  and
substantive  requirements  of  the  discharge  regulation;   and   the
discharge was within the sound discretion of the discharge  authority.
Based  on  the  information  provided,  they  recommend  denying   the
applicant's request.

A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is attached at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE  states  the  RE  code  the  applicant  received   is   the
appropriate code for those members separated  "involuntarily  with  an
honorable   discharge   or   an   entry   level   separation   without
characterization of service (Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
24 May 2002, 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 timely filed.

3.    Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice.  After careful  consideration  of
the circumstances of this  case  and  the  evidence  provided  by  the
applicant, we are not persuaded  her  request  to  have  the  RE  code
changed  is  warranted.   In   this   respect,   the   applicant   was
involuntarily separated and she apparently received the appropriate RE
code  affiliated  with  her   involuntary   separation.    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.  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 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.

    She served 2 years, 2 months and 13 days of active service. The AFPC/DPPRS evaluation is at Exhibit C. AFPC/DPPAE stated that the Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 2C, “Involuntarily separated with an honorable discharge; or entry level separation without characterization of service” is correct. However, after reviewing the applicant’s records, the Board believes the narrative reason for separation and her current RE code are somewhat harsh.
