                       RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
         AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS

IN THE MATTER OF:      DOCKET NUMBER:  BC-2003-02772
            INDEX CODE:  110.02

            COUNSEL:  NONE

            HEARING DESIRED: NO

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:

Her reenlistment eligibility (RE) code be changed to  one  that  would
enable her to enlist in the Air Force Reserve (AFRES).

_________________________________________________________________

APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:

She served in the Air Force for three years and six months.   She  was
discharged under an early release  program  (strength  reduction)  and
does not know why she was given an RE code of 2X.   She  was  recently
honorably discharged from the  Naval  Reserve  (NavRes)  in  order  to
enlist with AFRES.  AFRES requires the RE code of 2X to be changed  in
order for her to enlist.

In support of her appeal, the applicant has provided a copy of her  AF
DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active  Duty,  a
copy of her NavRes DD Form 214, various enlistment documents from  the
period in question, a copy of a name change in  the  personnel  system
due to marriage, and a letter of support from the New York Division of
Veterans’ Affairs.

Her complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.

_________________________________________________________________

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

Applicant entered the Air Force (AF) on 11  December  1979.   She  was
honorably discharged, 3 years, 7 months and 25 days later, on 5 August
1983 as a result of a fiscal year (FY)  83  early  release  program  –
strength reduction.  She was issued an RE code of 2X  (Considered  but
not Selected for Reenlistment).  She joined the NavRes and her  record
indicates she served 12 years, 11 months,  and  28  days  of  inactive
duty.

_________________________________________________________________

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.  Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice.  The  applicant  has  expressed  a
desire to enlist into the AF Reserve  and  we  believe,  after  having
served honorably for over 11 years with the Naval Reserve, she  should
be given the opportunity to apply for enlistment.  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 the service.  Therefore, we recommend the applicant's
records be corrected to the extent indicated below.

______________________________________________________________

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:

The pertinent military records of the  Department  of  the  Air  Force
relating to APPLICANT be corrected to show that on 5 August  1983  she
was separated  under  the  provisions  of  AFR  39-10,  paragraph  1.2
(Secretarial  Authority)  with  a  separation  code  of  JFF   and   a
reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 3K.

Executive Session on 10 December 2003, under the provisions of AFI 36-

We note that the applicant was discharged from the Air Force for “marginal performance.” The applicant has not provided sufficient evidence that she should have received an RE code that would allow her...
