AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2001-00666
INDEX CODE: 100.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code of 4J, “Entered into Phase I
of the Air Force Weight Program, or the unit commander has declared
the airman ineligible to reenlist for a period of Phase II or
probation,” be changed.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The RE code 4J should have been changed putting her in a medical
deferral status once she became pregnant.
In support of her appeal, applicant submitted a personal statement,
a copy of her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, dated 15 Jul 99; a copy of DD Form 215, Correction to
DD Form 214, dated 7 Sep 99; a copy of a letter from HQ AFRS/RSO,
dated 21 Feb 01, disapproving a moral eligibility determination.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 11 Dec 96 in the
grade of airman (E-2) for a period of four years. On 15 Jul 99,
she was released from active duty and transferred to the Air Force
Reserve, by reason of “Pregnancy or childbirth,” and was issued an
RE code of 4J.
On 16 Jul 99, she enlisted in the Air National Guard for a period
of four years in the grade of airman first class (E-3). On
14 Oct 00, she reenlisted in the Air National Guard for a period of
two years in the grade of airman first class (E-3).
The applicant is currently serving in the Air Force Reserve in the
grade of staff sergeant (SSgt), with an effective date and date of
rank (DOR) of 1 Jan 03.

AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
HQ AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and indicated that the RE
code of 4J, “Entered into Phase I of the Air Force Weight Program,
or the unit commander has declared the airman ineligible to
reenlist for a period of Phase II or probation,” is correct.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant
on 21 Mar 03 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; 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. We took notice of
the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the
case. At the time of the applicant’s release from active duty, she
was furnished an RE Code predicated upon the quality of her service
and the circumstances of her separation. The assigned RE code of
4J accurately reflects that she was on the Weight Management
Program when she separated. After careful consideration of the
evidence provided, we are not persuaded that the assigned RE code
is in error or unjust or that an upgrade of the RE code is
warranted. Furthermore, we note that the applicant’s current RE
code of 4J is a code that can be waived for prior service
enlistment consideration, provided she meets all other requirements
for enlistment under an existing prior service program, and based
on the needs of the service. In view of the foregoing, and 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.
