AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03058
INDEX CODE: 100.06
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His reenlistment eligibility (RE) code of 2X be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
His RE code of 2X renders him ineligible to join the Air Force
Reserve. He was not aware of this code until recently when he decided
he would like to continue his service to his country. He does not
understand why he received this code since he never received any
disciplinary action while on active duty.
In support of his appeal, the applicant provided an expanded
statement.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachment, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 20 Oct 88 for a period
of four years in the grade of airman first class. He reenlisted on 30
Oct 91 for a period of six years in the grade of senior airman.
Applicant's Enlistment Performance Report (EPR) profile follows:

The record contains an AF Form 418 (Selective Reenlistment Program
Consideration), dated 25 Apr 97, which reflects the applicant’s
supervisor did not recommend him for reenlistment. The supervisor
stated that he was unable to select the applicant for reenlistment at
the time because the applicant had not demonstrated the desire or
capability to accept the additional duties and responsibilities
required of a career airman in today’s Air Force. He indicated it was
his belief that the applicant had the ability but not the desire to
apply himself in his current position. The applicant’s unit commander
concurred with the supervisor and did not select the applicant for
reenlistment. He stated that the applicant lacked the qualities
necessary for career airman in today’s Air Force. The applicant
indicated that he did not intend to appeal the decision.
On 31 Oct 97, the applicant was discharged under the provisions of AFI
36-3208 (Completion of Required Active Service) and furnished an
honorable discharge. He was assigned an RE code of 2X (First-term,
second-term, or career airman considered but not selected for
reenlistment under the Selective Reenlistment Program (SRP)). The
applicant was credited with 9 years and 11 days of active service.
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 excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Sufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate the
existence of error or injustice. The evidence of record indicates
that the applicant was not selected for reenlistment in the Air Force.
His supervisor stated that he believed the applicant had the ability
but not the desire to apply himself. After a thorough review of the
available evidence, we note that the applicant served honorably for
nine years, and it appears that no adverse action was ever taken
against him. Furthermore, it now seems that the applicant has the
motivation and the desire to commit himself to the service of his
country. In view of the foregoing, we do not believe that the
applicant should be permanently barred from future military service if
any branch of the armed forces desires to enlist him based on their
needs. Accordingly, we recommend that the applicant’s RE code of 2X
be changed to one requiring a waiver, i.e., RE-3K (Reserved for use by
HQ AFPC or the Air Force Board for Correction of Military Records
(AFBCMR) when no other reenlistment eligibility code applies or is
appropriate).
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT:
The pertinent military records of the Department of the Air Force
relating to APPLICANT, be corrected to show that his Reenlistment
Eligibility (RE) Code issued in conjunction with his honorable
discharge on 31 Oct 97 was “3K.”

In support of his appeal, applicant submitted two letters of recommendation from the commander of the Air Force Band of the Golden West and the commander of the Air Force Band of Mid-America.
