RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: 02-02326
INDEX CODE: 100.03, 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to allow enlistment
in the Air Force Reserves.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
She completed her active duty service and received an honorable
discharge in September 1997. She attempted to enter the Air Force
Reserves in January 2002 and was denied admittance due to the RE code
on her DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active
Duty. The applicant states that she does not know why she was given
(RE) code 2X and she believes the RE code is a clerical error.
In support of her request, the applicant provided a copy of her DD
form 214, two (2) recommendation letters and a personal statement.
Applicant’s complete submission is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force as an airman basic in
June 1988 for a term of 4 years. She received a Referral Enlisted
Performance (EPR) on 23 December 1996, for failure to comply with a
lawful order and failure to go and unprofessional dress and
appearance. She was honorably discharged on 13 September 1997 after
serving nine (9) years, two (2) months and twenty-nine (29) days
active service. She received an RE code of 2X “First-term, Second-
term, or career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment
under the SRP” when she was discharged.
Examiners Note: Separation Program Designator (SPD) code LBK denotes
“Completion of Required Active Service”.
________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE indicates that based on a review of the applicant’s
records, the applicant’s duty performance was generally substandard.
Based on her latest EPR DPPAE concluded that her commander denied her
reenlistment. The applicant has not satisfactorily indicated the
commander’s action to deny reenlistment was inappropriate or not in
compliance with Air Force Policy. DPPAE recommends the applicant’s
request be denied.
The DPPAE evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
Copies of the Air Force evaluations were forwarded to the applicant on
2 Jan 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 timely filed.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice to warranting corrective action.
After reviewing the evidence submitted, we believe that reasonable
doubt exists as to whether or not the applicant was provided the
proper guidance and counseling that would have been appropriate during
the processing of her nonselection for reenlistment. There is no
available evidence to indicate that she was identified as ineligible
to reenlist, or that her commander denied her reenlistment. It is our
opinion, that in cases where reasonable doubt exists, the outcome of
such should be resolved in favor of the applicant. In view of this,
we believe it would be in the best interest of equity and justice that
her RE code be changed to a waiverable code. Whether or not she is
successful will depend on the needs of the service and our
recommendation in no way guarantees that she will be allowed to return
to any branch of service.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that at the time of her
discharge on 13 September 1997, her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code
was 3K.

As of this date, no response has been received by this office. After a thorough review of the evidence of record and applicant’s submission, we are not persuaded that his discharge separation and reenlistment code should be changed. We therefore agree with the recommendations of the Air Force and adopt the rationale expressed as the basis for our decision that the applicant has failed to sustain his burden that he has suffered either an error or an injustice.
