returned he requested to separate because he was about to lose a job that
was being held for him. He is older now and more mature and hopes he is
given a second chance to prove himself.

_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 23 April 1986 for a
period of four years.
The applicant’s medical records indicate the applicant was referred to the
Mental Health Clinic on 5 February 1987 for evaluation for alcohol abuse.
On 9 June 1987, the mental health provider recommended the applicant enter
the alcohol rehabilitation program. On 9 September 1987, the applicant
successfully completed the alcohol rehabilitation program.
On 30 September 1987, the applicant was notified that he was not eligible
to reenlist due to receiving an Article 15.
The applicant was again referred to Mental Health for alcohol abuse due to
a driving while intoxicated incident on base. The mental health provider
recommended the applicant enter the alcohol rehabilitation program.
On 17 November 1987, the applicant was notified he was not eligible to
reenlist due to his failure in alcohol rehabilitation.
On 18 November 1987, the mental health provider recommended the applicant
be separated from the Air Force.
On 2 April 1988 the applicant successfully completed the alcohol
rehabilitation program and the mental health provider noted that
administrative action was no longer pending; however, a court case was
still pending.
On 6 June 1989, the mental health provider noted in the applicant’s record
that he was involved in an alcohol-related incident and failed to go to
work.
On 5 July 1989, the mental health provider recommended the applicant enter
the alcohol rehabilitation program. The applicant’s medical records
indicate he continued participation in the alcohol rehabilitation program
until 5 March 1990.
On 5 December 1989, the applicant was notified he was ineligible to
reenlist due to his failure to complete the alcohol rehabilitation program.
The applicant was not recommend for reenlistment on 28 June 1990. The
basis for the nonrecommendation was that the applicant was an ineffective
performer, lacked motivation and initiative, non-complied with training
requirements and a Unfavorable Information File (UIF) had been established.
Applicant did not appeal the decision.
The applicant was honorably discharged on 23 May 1991, under the provisions
of AFR 39-10, completed extended enlistment and was issued an RE code of
2X, which indicates the servicemember is a first-term, second-term, or
career airman considered but not selected for reenlistment under the
Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP).
EXAMINER'S NOTE: An Air Force evaluation was not received; however, prior
to forwarding the case to the Board the Air Force determined that the RE
code assigned is correct.
_________________________________________________________________
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 waive the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of an error or injustice. Applicant’s contentions are duly
noted; however, we are not persuaded that the applicant has been the victim
of an error or injustice. At the time members are separated from the Air
Force, they are furnished an RE code predicated upon the quality of their
service and circumstances of their separation. After a thorough review of
the evidence of record, we believe that given the circumstances surrounding
the applicant’s separation, the RE code issued was in accordance with the
appropriate directives. Therefore, we find no basis upon which to
recommend favorable action on 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.

A complete copy of their evaluation is attached at Exhibit D. AFPC/DPPPR states that the applicant is not eligible for award of the Air Force Good Conduct (AFGC) Medal. Since he received his first Article 15 during this assignment, he would not be eligible for a decoration upon completion of his overseas tour. After reviewing the evidence of record, we are not persuaded that the applicant’s records are in error or that he has been the victim of an injustice.

The applicant was recommended for separation from the Air Force for mental disorders.
