INDEX CODE: 100.3, 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow
enlistment in the Reserves.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He is interested in joining the Reserves due to current world events.
The applicant states that at the time of his discharge, his daughter,
who was four years old, had recently died and it was a very emotional
time in his life. He states that his wife also had difficulty dealing
with their daughters death and decided to take their other two
children and leave. The applicant states that he felt alone and
started to drink. He realizes that this was the wrong way to approach
his personal problems. He declares that he has been sober for years
and would like to have his RE code changed.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 29 April 1982 in
the grade of airman basic. On 28 December 1990, the applicant was
notified by his commander that he was recommending that he be
discharged from the Air Force under the provisions of AFR 35-10,
Alcohol Rehabilitation Failure, with an honorable discharge. The
specific reason for his action was his failure to complete a resident
alcohol abuse rehabilitation (ARC) program by refusing to enter. The
applicant had numerous incidents involving alcohol and had been
entered into various alcohol rehabilitation programs but continued to
drink. He was evaluated by Social Actions and they recommended in-
patient treatment; however, he refused to enter in the program. On 28
December 1990 the applicant submitted a conditional waiver to an
administrative review board contingent on receiving no less than an
honorable discharge. The case was reviewed on 31 December 1990 by the
Assistant Staff Judge Advocate and found to be legally sufficient to
support discharge. He was separated from the Air Force on 11 January
1991 with a honorable discharge an issued a RE code of “2C”. He
served eight (8) years, nine (9) months and ten (10) days on active
duty.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRS recommends denial. Based upon the documentation in the
file, we believe the discharge was consistent with the procedural and
substantive requirements of the discharge regulation. The applicant
did not submit any new evidence or identify any errors or injustices
that occurred in the discharge processing. A complete copy of the
evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFPC/DPPAE recommends denial. The RE code of 2C, “Involuntarily
separated with an honorable discharge; or entry-level separation
without characterization of service” is correct. A complete copy
of the DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit D.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on 3
January 2003 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.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility 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.
