RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-01477
INDEX CODE: 112.10
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His discharge and separation code be upgraded to a status that will
allow him to reenlist in the Air Force or a Reserve component.
___________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He would like to return to active duty. At the time of his
separation he made a hasty decision based on existing family needs
that have since been resolved. A decision that he regrets and now
wishes to reconcile. He has stayed connected as an active pilot
with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP). His discharge was not based on
disciplinary actions and he asks that he be allowed to further
serve his country.
In support of his appeal, applicant provided copies of certificates
of completion for the CAP Officer Correspondence Program, the
Aerospace Power Course and Squadron Leadership School; and a copy
of the DD Form 214, Certification of Release or Discharge from
Active Duty, dated 1 Feb 01.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
___________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 11 Jan 01 for a
period of four years in the grade of staff sergeant (SSgt/E-5). He
was ordered to extended active duty on 11 Jan 01 for a period of
120 days and was assigned to the Officer Training School (OTS) at
Maxwell AFB AL.
On 30 Jan 01, applicant initiated actions for self-initiated
elimination because he no longer wanted to be an Air Force member.
On 31 Jan 01, the discharge authority approved the applicant’s
request for discharge.
The applicant received an uncharacterized entry-level separation on
1 Feb 01, by reason of “Failure to complete commissioning or
warrant program,” and was issued an RE code of 4L. He was credited
with 21 days of active duty service.
___________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE reviewed this application and indicated that the RE code
of 4L (Separated commissioning program eliminee agreement) is
correct.
A complete copy of the Air Force evaluation is at Exhibit C.
AFRS/RSOCL reviewed this application and stated that applicant can
reapply to meet the Officer Training Selection Board IAW AETCI 36-
2002, para 3.17.2. Applications may be submitted on individuals
who were eliminated from OTS and not eligible for medical
reinstatement if 6 months have elapsed with a disenrollment waiver
request and applicant still meets all other eligibility criteria.
Applicant would need to contact his local AF Officer Accession
Recruiter.
A complete copy of the Air Force 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 28 Feb 03 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this
date, no response has been received by this office (Exhibit E).
___________________________________________________________________
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. At the time a
member is separated from the Air Force, they are furnished an RE
Code predicated upon the quality of their service and the
circumstances of their separation. The assigned code reflects the
Air Force’s position regarding whether or not, or under what
circumstances, the individual should be allowed to reenlist. The
applicant’s assigned RE code of 4L accurately reflects that he was
eliminated from a commissioning program. After reviewing the
documentation submitted in support of applicant’s appeal, we find
no evidence to indicate that either the assigned RE code or the
narrative reason for separation are in error or unjust. We note
that RE code 4L is a code that can be waived for prior service
enlistment consideration, provided applicant meets all other
requirements for enlistment under an existing prior service
program. We suggest that the applicant contact his local recruiter
concerning his possible re-affiliation with the military.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, we find no
compelling basis to recommend granting the relief sought in this
application.
4. Additionally, we note the Air Force has indicated that the
applicant can reapply to meet the Officer Training Selection Board
and would need to contact his local Air Force Officer Accession
Recruiter regarding this matter.
___________________________________________________________________
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.
