                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-01354
            INDEX CODE:  100.06

      .     COUNSEL:  AMERICAN LEGION

            HEARING DESIRED:  YES

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2C be changed.

_________________________________________________________________

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 relevant facts pertaining to this application are contained in the
letters  prepared  by  the  appropriate  offices  of  the  Air  Force.
Accordingly, there is no need to recite these facts in this Record  of
Proceedings.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPRS  reviewed  this   application   and   recommended   denial.
A complete copy of the evaluation is at Exhibit C.

AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and indicated that the RE code of
2C (involuntarily separated with  an  honorable  discharge;  or  entry
level separation  without  characterization  of  service)  is  correct
(Exhibit D).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to applicant on  31
May 02 for review and response.  As of this date, no response has been
received by this office (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 injustice.  The evidence of  record  indicates  that  the
applicant was honorably discharged for unsatisfactory performance as a
result of his failure to make  satisfactory  progress  in  a  required
training program.  While the record reveals  that  he  was  unable  to
perform  certain  maintenance  functions  properly,   there   was   no
indication of any behavior problems or misconduct.  In our  view,  the
applicant should  not  be  permanently  barred  from  future  military
service because he was ill-suited for a particular career  field.   If
the respective services desire to enlist him based on their needs,  we
do not believe  the  applicant  should  be  denied  that  opportunity.
Accordingly, we recommend that  the  applicant’s  RE  code  of  2C  be
changed to one requiring a waiver; that is, RE-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).

_________________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that that his Reenlistment
Eligibility  (RE)  Code  issued  in  conjunction  with  his  honorable
discharge on 3 Dec 96 was “3K.”
