AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-02957
INDEX CODE: 112.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His term of enlistment be changed from five years to four years.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He feels that the decision he made on his reenlistment was a rushed
decision.
In support of the appeal, applicant submits a copy of his AF Form 901,
Reenlistment Eligibility Annex to DD Form 4, and a copy of his DD Form
4/1, Enlistment/Reenlistment Document. Applicant's complete
submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 19 May 1999, in the
grade of airman basic, for a period of four years.
On 29 July 2003, the applicant, while serving in the grade of senior
airman, was discharged from the Air Force. He served four years, two
months and eleven days of total active service. On 30 July 2003, the
applicant reenlisted for a period of five years.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPPAE recommends disapproval. The applicant executed this
reenlistment under good faith and should have thought through any life
altering decisions he was making. A complete copy of the evaluation
is attached at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
The applicant states that he is disappointed with the advisory
opinion. He again states that he made a rushed decision and truly
didn’t think it through thoroughly. He further states that he knows
that the reduction of his enlistment from five to four years is asking
a lot, but he is extremely sure that if approved it would make him a
much happier and a much better airman.
Applicant's complete response is attached at 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. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
and adopt their rationale as the basis for the conclusion that the
applicant has not been the victim of an error or injustice.
Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary or showing that
he was miscounseled in any way, 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.
