RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-03104
INDEX CODE: 110.02
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Reenlistment Eligibility (RE) code be changed.
_________________________________________________________________
THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He believed after his discharge he could enlist into the Air Force
Reserves. He acknowledges he made a mistake towards the end of his career
but believes the decision to issue him an RE code of 2X was made in haste.
He feels that his work history subsequent to his discharge will support his
claim.
In support of the appeal, the applicant submits copies of four character
reference letters.
Applicant’s complete submission, with attachments, is attached at Exhibit
A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on 28 August 1989. On 15
March 1996, the applicant reported for duty impaired by alcohol. This took
place after counseling and participation in the rehabilitation program. On
1 April 1996, his commander considered and denied his reenlistment. On 24
September 1996, he was discharged under the provisions of AFI 36-3208 for
completion of required active service and was issued an honorable
discharge. He received a separation designator code of JBK and a RE code of
2X, “First-term, second-term, or career airman considered but not selected
for reenlistment under the SRP”. He served 7 years and 26 days on active
duty.
Applicant does not contest the accuracy of the RE code and after reviewing
the applicable instruction, AFI 36-2606, it appears the RE code issued is
accurate.
_________________________________________________________________
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 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.
