RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01357
INDEX CODE: 110.00
APPLICANT COUNSEL: None
SSN HEARING DESIRED: No
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code and narrative reason for
separation be changed to allow her to enlist in the Army.
_________________________________________________________________
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, extracted from the
applicant's military records, are contained in the letter prepared by
the appropriate office of the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS states Air Force policy is that entry-level
separations/uncharacterized service characterizations are given to
service members who have not completed more than 180 days of
continuous active service. The applicant served 13 days of service.
She was separated for fraudulent entry because she intentionally
withheld information regarding her prior drug use and her use of drugs
while in the Delayed Entry Program.
The applicant's discharge was processed in accordance with DOD and Air
Force procedural and substantive requirements. The applicant has not
provided or identified any errors or injustices in the processing of
her discharge. Nor has she provided any evidence to warrant a change
in the narrative reason for
separation. Therefore, based on the evidence provided they recommend
denying the requested relief.
A complete copy of the 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
30 August 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 not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure of timely file.
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 and
narrative reason changed is warranted. The applicant was
involuntarily separated because she apparently concealed her
preservice drug use on the USAF Drug Certificate (AF Form 2030). The
applicant, through her own admission, admitted to using marijuana
twice a week from May 1994 through August 1997, and hallucinogens
(Blotter Acid) at least 20 times from November 1994 through July 1997.
It appears the applicant was separated in accordance DOD and Air
Force policy for those service members who have served less than 180
days of active duty service. 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.
