                            RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
             AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  02-03605
            INDEX CODE:  100.03
            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED:  NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of  2X  (First-term,  second-term  or
career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment  under  the  SRP)
be changed.

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

It was her  decision  to  leave  the  Air  Force  in  1999  because  of  her
pregnancy.  As a security policeman and single parent, she did not  want  to
leave her child for four months out of the year.  She did have a rough  time
and went through depression while in the service.  She was sent overseas  as
a first term airman, and was not emotionally  ready.   She  would  like  the
opportunity to serve her country again.  When she served overseas she got  a
taste of the “real world” and knows that she is more than ready to  help  do
her part for her country.

In support of her request, applicant provides a personal  statement,  and  a
copy  of  letter  to  a  member  of  Congress.   The  applicant’s   complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 22  October  1997.   She  was
progressively promoted to the grade of  airman  first  class  (E-3),  having
assumed that grade effective and with a date of rank of 22 February 1999.

A medical narrative summary report completed on 25 October 1999  by  an  Air
Force  psychiatrist  identified  the  applicant  as  a  previously  admitted
patient on 28 April 1999 for one week  who  presents  after  1  ½  weeks  of
worsening  depressive  symptoms,  decreased   sleep,   decreased   interest,
increased  interpersonal  sensitivity,  decreased   energy   and   decreased
concentration.  Her Axis I diagnosis was major depressive episode,  Axis  II
was probably cluster B personality disorder, and Axis III  was  intrauterine
pregnancy approximately three months.
Applicant’s  record  does  not  contain  a  discharge  case  file   or   the
commander’s denial of applicant’s reenlistment.

Applicant was honorably discharged on 18 June 1999, after serving 1 year,  6
months, and 27 days on active duty.  An RE code 2X and a separation code  of
KDF (Pregnancy or Childbirth) was assigned.

_________________________________________________________________

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

AFPC/DPPAE recommends the application be  denied.   DPPAE  states  that  the
applicant  was  denied  reenlistment  via  early  consideration  under  SRP.
Although there is no evidence of disciplinary problems in  her  record,  the
RE Code 2X was reasonably assessed.  DPPAE further states that she  has  not
satisfactorily indicated the commander’s action  to  deny  reenlistment  was
inappropriate or not  in  compliance  with  Air  Force  policy.   The  DPPAE
evaluation is at Exhibit C.

________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:

On 3 January 2003, a copy of the  Air  Force  evaluation  was  sent  to  the
applicant for review  and  comment.   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.  Insufficient relevant evidence has been  presented  to  demonstrate  the
existence of error or injustice that would warrant a change to her RE  code.
 We agree with the opinion and recommendation of the  Air  Force  office  of
primary responsibility that the RE code which was assigned at  the  time  of
her separation accurately reflects her circumstances  at  the  time  of  her
separation and evidence has not been provided that would lead us to  believe
otherwise.  Therefore, in the absence of evidence  to  indicating  that  the
information contained in her records is  erroneous  or  that  her  commander
abused  his  discretionary   authority   when   he   nonselected   her   for
reenlistment, 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 probable 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.
