RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-02924
INDEX CODE: 100.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed so that he may reenlist
in the Air Force.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He was not in constant trouble and received only a letter of reprimand,
which was given for false reasons. He was constantly degraded, threatened
and told he was going to be kicked out for no reason. At the time he was
denied reenlistment, he fully understood that he would not be able to
reenlist but now regrets the decision not to appeal. During his
outprocessing the squadron leader told him that he could get the RE code
changed but would have to give up his permissive TDY and stay in Phoenix
for another month. At that time, he had already terminated his lease and
rented and packed a moving truck to go back to Kansas City. He would like
his RE code changed so that he may reenlist and be able to provide
stability and structure for his new family and himself and rejoin the unity
and camaraderie that the military has to offer. He would also like to take
advantage of the money given so he may be able to obtain a college degree.
He understands that these reasons are small but feels that the military is
where he belongs.
In support of his request applicant provides a personal statement, copies
of letters of support and a copy of his recommendation for promotion to
senior airman.
The applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 9 January 1997. He was
progressively promoted to the grade of senior airman, having assumed that
grade effective and with a date of rank of 9 May 1998. He received three
Enlisted Performance Reports (EPR) closing 28 October 1998, 28 October 1999
and 28 October 2000, in which the overall ratings were 3*, 2*, and 3
respectively (highest rating a 5). * Denotes referral EPR.
On 5 October 1999, applicant’s supervisor prepared an AF Form 418,
Selective Reenlistment/Noncommissioned Officer Status Consideration, and
recommended that he not be selected for reenlistment. The specific reason
for his action was that the applicant’s past enlisted performance rating
was a referral EPR and his personal information file contained numerous
disciplinary actions. He was continuously unable to follow basic safety
instructions in a career field that demands safety being the forethought of
any action and strict adherence. He had a history of negative involvement
with various law enforcement agencies around Luke AFB. He failed to
complete his upgrade training through his career development course in the
allotted time and was forced to file for an extension in order to complete
the required training. On 7 October 1999, applicant’s section commander
concurred with the recommendation and rendered him ineligible for
reenlistment.
Applicant was honorably discharged on 8 January 2001, after serving 4 years
on active duty. An RE code 2X (First-term airman considered but not
selected for reenlistment under the SRP) was given.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPRSP recommends the application be denied. DPPRSP states that the
applicant has not satisfactorily indicated the commander’s action to deny
reenlistment was inappropriate or not in compliance with Air Force Policy.
The DPPRSP evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
On 17 January 2003, a copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant for review and comment. As of this date, a response has not been
received.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law or
regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice warranting correction of his RE code. In
view of his overall record while in the Air Force, we are not persuaded
that he has been the victim of either an error or injustice. We took
notice of the applicant’s complete submission in judging the merits of the
case; however, we do not find his uncorroborated assertions sufficiently
persuasive to override the rationale provided by the Air Force. In view of
the above and in the absence of evidence by the applicant indicating the
information cited by his supervisor and commander to nonselect him for
reenlistment was erroneous or that those individuals abused their
discretionary authority, we find no basis upon which to favorably consider
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.
