             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-02023
            INDEX CODE:  110.03, 100.06
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so that he may  enlist  in
the Air Force Reserves.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

After serving 8 1/2 years  of  honorable  service,  he  should  be  able  to
reenlist in the Reserves and continue his career.

In support of his request, applicant provided a copy of  his  DD  Form  214,
Certificate  of  Release  or  Discharge  from  Active  Duty.   His  complete
submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant contracted his initial enlistment in the Regular Air  Force  on  9
Jul 90.  He was progressively  promoted  to  the  grade  of  senior  airman,
having assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 31 May 94.

On 26 Mar 98, the applicant's supervisor prepared an AF Form 418,  Selective
Reenlistment Program Consideration, and recommended that he not be  selected
for reenlistment.  The specific reason for this action was  the  applicant's
failure to perform up to standards.  He was previously  denied  reenlistment
and subsequently brought his performance up to  minimum  standards  only  to
slip back down after his reenlistment.  In addition, he was on  the  Control
Roster for  unsatisfactory  conduct.   On  that  same  date,  his  commander
concurred with the recommendation and rendered the applicant ineligible  for
reenlistment.  On 9 Jan 99, the applicant was released from active  duty  at
the completion of his required service.  He served 8 years,  6  months,  and
21 days on active duty.  He was assigned RE  code  2X  "First  term,  second
term, or career airman considered but not selected  for  reenlistment  under
the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)."

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE  reviewed  applicant's  request  and  recommends  denial.   DPPAE
states  that  he  has  not  indicated  that  the  commander's   action   was
inappropriate or not  in  compliance  with  Air  Force  policy.   The  DPPAE
evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 11  Oct
02 for review and comment within 30 days.  As of this date, this office  has
received no response.

_________________________________________________________________

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 an injustice.   Even  though  the  applicant  has  provided  no
evidence to show that his separation was improper or not in compliance  with
the appropriate regulations, it is our opinion that relief is  warranted  in
this particular case.  In  this  respect,  we  note  that  the  decision  to
separate the applicant was not based on misconduct and  we  believe  that  a
good probability exists that  he  may  be  able  to  provide  effective  and
meaningful service to our nation as a member of the Air Force Reserves.   In
view of this, based on clemency, we believe  that  his  RE  code  should  be
changed  to  a  waiverable  code  in  order  to  provide  the  applicant  an
opportunity to apply for entry into the Reserves.   Whether  or  not  he  is
successful will depend on the needs of the service  and  our  recommendation
in no way guarantees that he will be allowed to  return  to  any  branch  of
service.  Therefore, we recommend that  his  records  be  corrected  to  the
extent 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 on 9 January 1999, he  was  separated
under the provisions of AFI 36-3208, paragraph 1.2  (Secretarial  Authority)
with a separation code of JFF and a reenlistment eligibility  (RE)  code  of
3K.
